freak wave

out side the port of marseille a cruise ship is stuck by a thirty foot wave how could a wave more common in the wide ocean happen in the Mediterranean. was it the end of the great storm .whatever the reason two men were killed the Poseidon adventure for real. this is part of the catastrophe that struck France week ago strange how it is only third world disasters that really make the news. wherever things happen the sorrow is just as real, the distress just as hard to bear ,the prioritising of the news is part of western civilisations decline no man is an island we would do well to remember it
