LMAO at the first video :)

Then in a more serious tone:

more than 1500 dead.
worst peacetime naval disaster ever

Probably the most famous, but definitely not the worst in terms of death toll. At least the following were even worse:

MV Doņa Paz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doņa_Paz)
MV Joola (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Joola)
Jiangya ship explosion (http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200111/23/eng20011123_85196.shtml)

You forgot the Sultana (for peacetime) and the Wilhelm Gustloff for war time.

I was going to travel with Express Samina, but I missed it and on the news the other morning I heard it sunk. Can you believe my luck?
