“Reportedly around 500 on ship.”
Before it was evacuated.
“If you repeat a lie often enough some dope will believe it.”
Reports say 54 rescued. You can think of 54 evacuated.
Best info I have.
Time will tell how many died and how many lived.
Maybe they evacuated everybody still alive after a fire and detonations severe enough to cripple the ship. Had there been any chance to save it the crew would probably have stayed and tried to keep it afloat. Under the circumstances i wouldn`t be surprised if a large part of the crew had perished. So it may be true that everybody was evacuated AND that only fifty or thereabouts were saved.
