Sad for the survivors, but I still speculate that there was a large degree of dumbassery involved.
I concur. I'm still curious as to what the fuck would possess someone to take their life jacket off when they're getting pooommeled by waves? Shit, keep it on and take a nap son.....wake up in the morning in still waters.
The biggest debacle is their lack of any sort of survival equipment. Standard on almost any boat nowadays is that pack that automatically ejects if the boat flips or sinks. From what I've heard it's pretty much foolproof, ejects every time. And even if it didn't, the boat didn't sink so they could have gotten to it and manually triggered it. THey'd have had an inflatable raft and more importantly, a little fucking short wave to say hey, we got a problem out here. They would have been picked up within hours.
