Dive team finds hundreds of bodies in capsized ferry

On 28 September 2002, environmental activist Haïdar El Ali and his diving team explored the disaster area. They saw no survivors, but many bodies of men, women and children inside the ship. 300 corpses trapped inside were freed. Another 100 that were around the ship were also recovered. 551 dead bodies were recovered in total. Of that number, 93 were identifiable and given back to families.

I'm not a superstitious person, but you couldn't fucking pay me to get near that shit. One of those bodies WILL unhook my O2 and hold onto me until I drown I just know it.

Okay. I'm convinced now.

A horror game where you're a scuba diver going through a recently capsized luxury cruiser would be intense. This shit was giving me anxiety 20+ years after it happened.

There is a scene like this in Battlefield 4. You dive through a sinking aircraft carrier with floating bodies.

"93 were identifiable and given back to families." Was it a ship full of refugees or why was the rest not identified? Sounds weird to me

Narrator said that the ship belonged to the Senegalese government and was boarded by people of about a dozen different nationalionaties.

Love the part where the reporter state that the senegalese king and autorities were more preoccupied by getting together than taking decisions regarding the tragedy…

Sad that only ninety three were identifiable, but least those families had chance to bury their loved ones.

(Had looked for this video, so am grateful to you for sharing.)

Aw damn, poor woman at the end there. At least the rest of the bodies had the dignity of being shown clothed — just feel particularly bad for her being found in that state.

The French narrator’s voice and cadence reminded me of the scene in Home Alone 2 when Kevin got on the wrong plane lol
