PEN08-19990521-PENANG, MALAYSIA: Passengers come down from a cargo ship at Penang island early in the morning of 21 May 1999 after they were rescued from the cruise ship Sun Vista, which sank 50 nautical miles south of Penang. More than 1,000 passengers on board the Singapore-based vessel Sun Vista were rescued after a fire apparently broke out late 20 May in the engine room and sank the vessel. EPA/AFP PHOTO
