Shipwreck Blog: Life Imitates Hollywood

Movie plot: Sailing ship with teenaged students aboard is struck by a strange weather phenomenon and sinks, putting the teens in a survival situation.

News story: Sailing ship with teenaged students aboard is struck by a strange weather phenomenon and sinks, putting the teens in a survival situation.

Only real difference is that the movie featured teenaged boys, and the real-life shipwreck featured teenaged girls.

The movie? White Squall, starring Jeff Bridges.

    Seriously, I wonder what some sailing folks are doing out there in the ocean. Was this vessel and crew inspected, ever?

    What a miracle that no one was lost in this wreck.
