pressure put on the crew by the work practices. They set out with the
bow open and the influx turned the boat over in port.

A long time later I was working with someone who friends were involved
in the recovery of the wreck. He told me of the difficulty they had in
getting some of the bodies out. One man had struggled to climb into a
cupboard in the kitchen, trying to breathe, looking for an air pocket.

They had to cut him apart to free him.

Just now I saw a bus drifting just below the surface of the water -who
knows where. And it got the message home with the memory of that
anecdote.

Someone lost a child a father a family a .....

Christ help them.
