109 Years Later, The Bodies Of The SS Eastland Suddenly resurfaced...

Just a minute ago, historians uncovered chilling parallels between the SS Eastland and MV Sewol disasters. In the summer of 1915, excitement turned to tragedy when the SS Eastland capsized, a preventable disaster caused by prioritizing profit over safety. Nearly a century later, in 2014, the MV Sewol ferry faced a similar fate, revealing a haunting pattern of negligence in pursuit of financial gain. How can such devastating losses persist without driving meaningful change? Let’s investigate the frightening consequences of these choices and uncover the urgent need for a change.

One clear example is the SS Eastland disaster in Chicago in nineteen fifteen. This ferry was built to take passengers across the Great Lakes and was known for being fast and efficient. But there was a problem from the start. The people who built it usually worked on cargo ships and didn’t properly adjust their design for a passenger ferry. They made changes to the ship, like shortening it and adding another deck, which made it even more unstable. Despite these issues, no one stopped to check if it was still safe
