Ferry Disaster off Guyana: A Pattern of Neglect? The capsizing of the MV Barima ferry off the coast of Guyana has left at least 66 people missing, sparking a massive search and rescue operation.
The incident highlights the vulnerability of transportation infrastructure in many developing countries, where resources are scarce and oversight can be lax.
The ferry was carrying over 100 passengers when it set off from Georgetown to Port Kaituma on Saturday afternoon.
