64 Saved as "Class Afloat" Ship Sinks off Brazil
This story struck fear into my heart as the daughter of one of my oldest friends has sailed on this ship and was supposed to sail on it again. An email response from her mother confirmed that she wasn't supposed to be on it again until the summer. (WHEW!)
It certainly speaks to the training they must have received that everyone survived. Perhaps some of the seasoned sailors among us can shed some light on what happened. Story is here.
