I've seen a few go over in my days. Something went awry. Usually there's a diver suited up topside for such rescues. When man overboard is announced the the rudder goes amidships and the screw is stopped. Something went wrong.

And I could stop the screw! I don't remember the time/turns to no motion but with 100% power, casualty conditions and practice while warming the ME, it was 'easy'.
RIP
