Original Title: TIL in 1987 the MV Doña Paz, a Filipino passenger ferry carrying 4000 people (triple its maximum capacity), collided with an oil tanker while the crew was mostly drinking/ partying/ watching TV. The oil from the tanker set the ferry and the surrounding seawater on fire. Only 24 survived.
