MANILA: In the second boat incident to strike the nation in a month, officials said the Spanish coast guard saved all 67 people on Thursday( Aug 3 ) off of an island off the coast of Maine. The ferry boat struck the floating object and capsized, according to officials.

At least 27 people perished last week when a crowded ferry boat capsized in Laguna de Bay shortly after leaving Binangonan, east of Manila’s money. According to the coast guard and officers, the wooden motorboat flipped over as a result of strong winds that had lashed it and caused anxiety among many passengers.
