Thoughts?
Somehow I missed this post of yours, sorry.
My thoughts on the 200” drop were what would the crew look like after that.
Previously we had discussed what a launch might look like from the El Faro. I think that busted up lifeboat they recovered was, as you described, exactly what happened when they attempted to launch. The other lifeboat stayed secured to the ship when it went down.
