I'm always interested when there is a mishap like this, be it land or sea. I think everybody is naturally compelled to find out if our folks are okay, and then, what happened?
Not to bash on journalists, but I'm frustrated by what seems (to me) to be an increasing tendency to omit the sort of detail I'd like to see.
I enjoyed your post very much. It was a pleasure to benefit from the insight of someone who's been there.
