Minimal hope for the survivors?
Egad!
I’m glad I’m only reading this now. My daughter took a short boat ride on the Danube through Budapest two weeks ago!
I am currently in Hungary at my house near the Balaton.
The nation is shocked by this. Of course, fears of how this impacts tourism (season is just starting) is a secondary concern.
I wonder what will happen to the donaudampfschifffahrtskapitan?
My wife and I had a dinner cruise in Budapest last year. It was glorious. Good food and good cheer and not too expensive. The Danube at night is a sight to see. For my money, it puts the bateaux-mouches cruises on the Seine totally in the shade. The true City of Light is Budapest, not Paris.
“The boat collided with a much larger luxury passenger boat during a rainstorm late on Wednesday near the parliament building, capsized and sank with some 30 tourists on board. The cause of the collision was under investigation.”
How sad.
RIP.
