I agree. We should all improve safety, for example: 74 dead in north China coal mine accident (Xinhua)

http://www2.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2009-0...ent_7500117.htm

If Xinhua says 74 dead, the true figure is probably 174 I sad, China sad

Just one more example: Chinese coalmine death toll soars to 87
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/nov/2...mine-death-toll

I sad

We must take safety seriously to avoid things like this: China Coal Mine Blast Kills at Least 46, http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-21/c...ureau-says.html

Human life is sacrosanct, we must do more to avoid barbarity such as: In China, 190 children are snatched every day http://www.guardian.co.uk/theobserver/2007...ures.magazine77

Well, fu-k me! Child abductions plague China http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pac...2912964826.html

lol, foreign tourists will be afraid to travel now. That means lost of tourist revenues.

Are you some kind of genius? I like you I lose many many sleeps thinking about safety of tourists in Vietnam too.

Please don't dismiss lilzz's posts. If there is something to improve then we should concentrate on improving it. Don't take it for granted that your world is perfect and ignore every little setback that begets you.

I hope this tragedy will bring in more rules and regulations that will reinforce safety and reliability similar to standards of the west. It will contribute to our move into modernization which we all can appreciate. For right now it is an embarrassment to the world communities having negative effect in our society.

STFU, coal mining is a very dangerous job with so many things that can go wrong.

You learn fast my child! Now let us join hands to firstly make China a perfectly safe country before looking into the business of other people's

I don't dismiss lilazz's post at all, on the contrary, he raised a very important safety issue which I am glad to contribute to and build upon

it must suck to die on ur vacation

^Who is this Berbatov in your signature?

It happen 4-5 in the morning. people were still sleeping, RIP

thats very sad , RIP 12 foreigners whose died in halong bay, yet Halong is still the UNESCO world heritage site and the 7th WORLD most beautiful bay. Last year it was more than 5 mil tourists visited. I hope they would visit more eventhough this tragic news

I dont touch dirty hands sorry.

I agree, Vietnam should really avoid purchasing chinese-made $hit.

The best way is to stay in the house or not to travel. By stepping outside the house, you run the risk of getting killed.

These type of things happen all the time, in every country. Remember Titanic? People still go on tour boats. The best thing Vietnam could do is to double check all the engines to prevent this. And they have stopped all the tourist boats for checking now.

Fine. When me and lilazz have successfully banned all accidents in China, dont come and claim any credits

roughly 1K for each dead, that's sucks. $1K is not even enough for me taking a vacation!!
those tourists got what they deserved, travel cheap and die cheap. Man, if someone in my family die while traveling, I want at least $100K on the table.


Six bodies of the tourists who died were also handed over to the concerned embassies.

The remaining bodies are being kept at the morgue of a provincial hospital to be handed over directly to their families.

Quang Ninh authorities also said they have made ex-gratia payments of VND10 million (US$478.92) each to the survivors, and allocated VND20 million ($957.85) each for relatives of the dead.

^ lilzz, you and your family should stay in the house. If you go outside, you might get run over by a car.

The offender or offender's insurance will pay.

I just worry that your body will dent someone else car by running over you.

By the way, how come you don't warn people about eating china's plastic rice. Die from travel is an accident, but die from eating china's plastic rice is intentional.

If Chinese rice is toxic then people can still survive on Chinese milk

But I will bring my own boat there instead.
