So how is this reminiscent of the cruise ship that crashed? Captain going to wave at friend /= engine failure and mechanical problems. I mean, they are both boats - Dumbass reporting.

The eight French passengers and crew aboard were rescued after the captain sent out a distress signal.
The scene is reminiscent of the luxury cruise Costa Concordia, which hit a reef off the coast of Italy's Giglio island on Jan. 13 when the captain brought the ship too close to shore. It killed 17 people, and 16 people remain missing and are presumed dead.

Does Gale Force Winds + Mechanical Failure = I'll sink it and claim the insurance before they repossess it?

I remember seeing maybe the QE2 going to the Falkland Islands in the early 80's running throughout 50'+ seas, easy to figure out that a smaller ship like this could get into trouble.

sounds like one of the engines intake hoses disconnected flooding the engine room, they must not have caught it quick enough
