"In June 1972, the Robertson's boat was attacked by killer whales and sank in 60 seconds. The six members of this family survive 37 days adrift in the Pacific, first in a rubber raft and then a fiberglass dingy. Without charts, compass, and with only 3 days worth of rations, they manage against 20 foot waves, sharks, thirst and starvation."

I stand corrected, but it's interesting that they sank the boat, but didn't kill and eat the family once they were in the water. Maybe they got angry at the vessel?
