With apologies to those who lost lives:

The movie will be Posiden Adventure .45: Not Quite a Quarter Way There.

The Jedi Master


How about Rowan Atkinson?

To be fair, where the ship is now is a way from where it hit the rocks...the captain tried to get the ship to the port before she capsized and so is now right at the coast edge.

Not that it makes up for having wrecked the ship for no good reason, delayed the evacuation, and "fallen into the lifeboat", mind.

1 million in compensation of WHAT exactly ? i know "human life is priceless" and all that,but each person asking for 100,000 bucks and one million ? were they travelling with the whole family savings ? they should be covered the value they expent,both on travel and inside the ship,their possessions and the value of their life insurance since they almost died,those that do not have a life insurange should have someone make a value for them.

What a mess... Reports of "unregistered passengers" are appearing on the press.

"It has also emerged that there could be a number of unregistered passengers aboard the ship, making the number of missing people much higher."

What about mental anguish. If they have to undergo years of therapy because they now have claustrophobia and hydrophobia it will be very expensive for them. What about compensation for loss of income as these people try to cope and reintegrate into society with ptsd?

for crying out loud, be reasonable, mental anguish ? if so, terapy sessions should be paid in full by the company, not 1 million bucks !
And reintegrate into society ? are you serious ? no one was handcaped, suck it up,you almost died while having fun, today is another day.
