Sinking of the MV Miraj-4 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sinking of the MV Miraj-4
On 15 May 2014, the double-decker ferry MV ''Miraj-4'' capsized in the Meghna River, southeast of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Between 150 and 200 people were on board at the time, of whom about 75 survived. As of 17 May, the official death toll stood at 54 with an unknown number of people missing. ==Background== Ferry travel is common in Bangladesh as the country has many water ways. Enforcement of safety standards is poor – an estimated 95% of small and medium-sized boats do not meet minimum code – and accidents are common. Overcrowding and poor maintenance are often a contributing factor to accidents and the government has regularly vowed to strengthen enforcement of safety standards after fatal accidents. The difficulty of predicting storms, known locally as Kalboishakhi, often causes accidents in the months of April and May.〔 In 2012, the MV ''Shariatpur 1'' sank at roughly the same spot as the MV ''Miraj-4'', killing at least 145 people.〔
