«Breaking News» Survivor of Lake Victoria ferry disaster in Tanzania lives for two days in air pocket

A survivor was rescued from a capsized ferry in Tanzania today – two days after the ship sank with the loss of more than 200 people.

Divers plucked the man, the ship’s engineer, from inside the sunken MV Nyerere ferry in Lake Victoria after hearing sounds coming from inside the submerged vessel.

The survivor, who was named locally as Alphonce Charahani, shut himself inside the upturned ferry’s engine room.

It is believed the man survived due to an air pocket inside the vessel, which overturned on Thursday, sinking just yards from the dock on Ukerewe, the lake’s biggest island.

Divers continued the grim rescue effort today as bodies continued to float to the surface.

A Tanzanian minister last night said the death toll had reached 207.

Tanzania’s president John Magufuli, who announced four days of national mourning, said the captain of the ferry – who was not on board at the time of the disaster – had been arrested. 

Control of the ship had been left to someone who had not had proper training.

Mr Magufuli said: ‘More bodies are trapped in the vessel. Even the cargo was more than the 25 tons allowed.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
