I wonder how it went down for everybody? Did some go down with the ship? Did anybody jump into the sea knowing they would be tossed like a rag doll?
They found at least one body in a survival suit but could not recover it. The article said it was too badly decomposed to identify the gender. I'll bet the rescue swimmer has nightmares about that.

Some men cry. Some men go grim. Some men crack. Some men laugh at death.
Who are we to say any response is better?

That was a really interesting read. Thanks for linking to it.
Vanity Fair actually sometimes has some excellent writing. Their story on Air France Flight 447 is terrifying.
That was a great read but a little long. Found myself skipping paragraphs that were fluff.
That young copilot will make take a harder look at the crews of any aircraft I get into.

Bump because I get the feeling that this story might become a motion picture coming to a theater near you -- probably starring Mark Wahlberg.

Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Long but gripping article. The actual voice recorder accounts made this a very poignant saga. I've always been fascinated by nautical stories. Thanks for sharing.

Probably?

Will Jennifer Lawrence take the role of the female bridge officer?
In any event, I would bet money on the prospect of this story becoming a major motion picture.
