They were more than likely awake, on deck on watch, or prepping for the storm. Seems it was known to be coming, but the severity of it was a surprise. Anyone in a cabin/asleep went down with the ship. The woman with the baby was on deck or at least out of the cabin - read a report saying that they left their cabin due to the noise and rocking.

Not sure about the conspiracy theories, but they always abound. What is sure, is it is a tragedy. From the above video there has been pretty awful weather down there recently. Once witnessed a waterspout over Douglas Bay about 20 years ago. Not a big one, but it was quite a sight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking into a bit further just now. Seems everyone that was rescued was in the liferaft and all of them got into the raft from the water. There was no organised evacuation onto a waiting lifeboat it went down too quickly. Anyone on deck was thrown into the sea. Anyone not on deck pretty much went down with the boat. No mayday or distress signals. Just a red flare from the life raft. Captain of a nearby vessel said something along the lines of 'it was there one minute and wasn't the next'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Six people are missing but all the media coverage is about Mike Lynch!!! Not very respectful of the other lives? Or indeed, the survivors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
