My question is why so many sailors died?
If these images are real, it appears to be calm seas that the crew could have been evacuated fairly easily before it sank.
Who knows? Who cares? I'd like to see pootsie and zel the clown challenge each other to a swimming contest in a pool full of bull sharks. Check back in an hour to see who won. Or don't. The world will go on just fine without them.
A lot of fire and explosion. What were the lifeboats made of—wood, metal, or plastic? A lot may have been lost or made unusable.
