Hi,

Quote:
Some 1,000 Germans, 600 Italians, 464 Norwegians, 219 Danes, 200 Finns and 200 Czechs have been reported as missing, along with 294 Singaporean tourists.

More than a thousand others, including 930 Norwegians, are still unaccounted for.

The Swedish government has conceded it took too long to react, but no one at the time understood the scale of the disaster.


I think In the begning everybody underestimated the scale of th Disaster...........and were slow to respond .

Hope the missing will be all right and will be found soon

Peace
