The Doña Paz, a passenger ferry, was cruising through the Tablas Strait in the Philippines, carrying over 2,200 people, when disaster struck. It collided with the oil tanker MT Vector, igniting a massive fire that engulfed the ferry. Panic set in as passengers scrambled to escape, but it was too late. The ferry sank quickly, leaving only a handful of survivors. The tragedy would become the worst peacetime sea disaster in history, claiming an estimated 4,000 lives.
