One of the puzzles of the local newspaper is that a story's picture is not always near the story. For example, a story with the (mind boggling headline) "Country may co-opt neighboring countries into war against water hyacinth" is next to a picture of the recently built cruise ship "Marco Polo". BTW the story is about getting the other countries to cooperate to battle the water plant pest.
On the same page is a story headlined "Govt detains erring ship over death of dockworkers". The first time I read the story, I burst out laughing, reading it again I feel like crying, here's an excerpt, you make your choice.
"The two dockworkers died instantly when the crane of the ship from where they were discharging fish products collapsed on them."
"They died before they could be assisted with any first aid treatment. Their colleagues went on sympathy protest which later degenerated into mass protest and mob action, which led to the destruction of the entire administrative offices at the port."
