boat back to shore. all right. what is i read reports that there was some noise before it started listing and tilting and then over and down. is there any sort of preliminary thought an to what has taken this ferry down? well, greta, they are still not too sure exactly what that loud thud was that some of the people who got off the boat say they heard before it started to tilt. of course, there is speculation it could be a rock. some maritime observers there say that the channel where the boat was passing through doesn t have those type of formations. so they are really not too sure. we probably won t know until they can actually bring the boat back to shore. this is a terrible story. absolutely terrible. jason, thank you. thank you. so how could a giant passenger ferry just sink? former coast guard captain peter boynton joins us. good evening, sir. good evening, sir. that s awful fast sinking, isn t it, for a
