In this case they surveyed and recorded every victim location for the coroner, and for what was assumed would be a recovery effort, but it never happened. They just left them in there. The dive team were quite confident they could do it.

@sullybiker Wasn’t there something weird about that wreck / the bodies being left? Something about some of the cargo being removed?

@Flick There's lots of conspiracies. Supposedly it was carrying something illicit.

@Flick I think it was bureaucratic imcompetence leading to the usual information vacuum. The official report has not been meaningfully contested.

@Flick They even went back last year and raised the ramp - a key part of the evidence - and it was pretty much as the report hypothesized.

@Flick You can go down the rabbit hole. It's interesting.

@Flick The main. lesson from it is, if you're on a ship and it looks like things are going bad, do not waste time getting out.

@Flick A lot of the controversy arose from the fact they did not recover people, for little good reason. Raising it would be expensive, but it's nearly 800 people, ffs.

@Flick A large number of whom were never located; families literally no idea what happened.

@sullybiker I thought it rang a bell.
