Thanks for the posting. I had missed the news reports on this one. The "freak accident" story is simply bullshit. There is no such thing! The real reasons are revealed further along in the article. Try:
"Maritime accidents are common in the Philippine archipelago due to tropical weather, badly maintained passenger boats and weak enforcement of safety regulations"
The latter two being the most operative reasons for such tragedies occurring.
