Apparently the 3 that drowned were potential investors*



*gets that in before Millstone thinks of it.
 

Saw this earlier. Dreadful that it should happen in this day and age.


I did lol at the title though.
 


There was a ferry 'MS Express Samina' that hit rocks near Paros, only just found it was one previously called 'Golden Vergina' that I had been on many times.

there was a trial......

On 29 November 2000, Pandelis Sfinias[SUP][6][/SUP] the manager of the company Minoan Flying Dolphins committed suicide by jumping from his sixth floor office window.[SUP][7][/SUP] He had been charged with criminal negligence in conjunction with this ferry disaster, and had been the focus of much media attention. A subsequent coroner's report revealed alcohol and antidepressants in his system at the time of his death. There was no note, but media reports hinted at a possible call made before he jumped. Several crew members, as well as representatives for the owners, were subsequently charged with different criminal charges, including manslaughter and negligence. The trial commenced late July 2005.
First officer Tassos Psychoyios was sentenced to 19 years, while Captain Vassilis Giannakis received a 16-year sentence. Psychoyios had been watching a football match on television when the ship hit the rocks, according to witnesses. Three crew members were sentenced to between 15 months and eight years and nine months for a series of misdemeanours that included abandoning ship without the captain’s permission.
