Today I started reading the 500 pages released by the National Transportation Safety Board of the voice data recordings from the El Faro bridge (the command center for the ship) in her final hours before sinking.
At this point all I can say is they were brave, brave, brave, honest, seaman including the captain and his female mate.
If the 33 seaman were alive today they wouldn't tell you they were brave, brave, brave, honest seaman, they would tell you they were just seaman doing their job of navigating around a hurricane.
I am so humbled to have known so many brave, brave, brave, honest fellow seaman in my life and to come from a family where my great, great , grandfather was a seaman.
Note: It is so inspiring to be reading and writing about the brave, brave, brave, honest, seaman as opposed to the cowardly, cowardly, cowardly, lying, scumbags I have been writing about.
Please pray for the children, wives, mothers and fathers, and friends of the seaman who lost their lives at sea.
