I read “listing 15*” before losing engine power to rolling 60* one way and 30 degrees the other, once they were adrift beam to the seas.

Then the roll increases, until they keel over, and sink.

They will find the ship on the bottom, probably turtled.

From First Coast News:

El Faro has 391 containers topside and 294 cars, trucks and trailers below deck. The Coast Guard said that cargo makes the listing problems worse at sea.
