El Faro - not seaworthy

The longshoremen who loaded the El Faro didn't believe the El Faro was seaworthy when they noticed rusty holes in the hull.
The seamen on the El Faro had been complaining about the seaworthiness of the El Faro as they swept rust from her decks.
The U.S. Coast Guard, Tote, and other authorities were aware the El Faro was not seaworthy due to a hull and superstructure weakened by rust.
When the Curv 21-remotely operated vehicle, surveyed the sunken El Faro it was discovered the navigation bridge structure and deck below it had separated from the ship. (the separation occurred during the hurricane while the El Faro was still afloat).
The U.S. Coast Guard, Tote, and other authorities are as responsible as the captain of the El Faro for the loss of the ship and her crew.
