Because if the ship hadn’t lost its engines the storm wouldn’t have been a problem.
Once the freighter is loaded, is it safer at sea than in port if a hurricane hits (engines operating)?
Doesn’t The Navy usually sends their ships out if a hurricane approaches ?
They had a hatch that was taking on water and no power. That’s a huge problem in a hurricane. They had no way of knowing that would happen in advance and they were trying to make a living as sailors on the high seas. It takes a lot of bravery to do that job.
Very sad if they are all lost.
ship was sailing straight into the storm ssw under power. look at the track.
I agree. It drifted into a hurricane.
