It is heartening to learn that people survived the boat mishap that I warned about, but this is not going to be the last of the boating accidents.
For one, people take the waters for granted and they overload their boats in their quest to make money.
This calamity is going to occur in the waters between the countries. In one case, one of the people will be able to reach out for help, but help will be a long time coming. A woman will be affected the most.

An accident will tax the resources of the medical facilities. Carelessness will be blamed but if the truth be told, it will be a defective vehicle pushed beyond its limits.
The peculiar thing is that people seem incapable of observing the basic rules.
In the wake of the accident, people will recall another accident that claimed the life of a prominent citizen.

Fraud is the order of the day. Three of them are being unearthed simultaneously and all of them in the legal system. It is as if people just believe that theirs is the right to steal from the state.
Unfortunately the courts are not as harsh on such people as they should be.
The amount of money is stupendous and one is left to wonder whether there are not more such frauds in every department.
