That’s 2nd Mate Danielle Randolph who quoted Scooby. She and others tried to get the Captain to further change course around the weather. He did not. Everyone died.

He just didn’t take the storm seriously enough and once things became dire it was clear that neither the ship nor the crew were properly set up to make it through. Bad maintence and poor training by the ship owner TOTE were the secondary causes.

Once they abandoned ship they had little chance of survival due to outdated lifeboats and equipment.

As bad as the Captain screwed up, in the end he seemed a good person. After giving the order to abandon ship, one of the crew understandably panicked and froze up. Captain Davidson did not leave him. He spent his final minutes trying to help that last man as the ship sank under them.

The last we heard of 2nd Mate Randolph she had gone in search of life vests for herself, the Captain, and the panicked crewmen. She was there to the end as well.

First part of your comment isn’t true. I can’t find any source to back that up. The company did screw up in plenty of other ways. Then they tried to weasle out of the consequences as your link illustrates,. So still villians.

Can’t wait for the next for next episode of Knowledge Fight to cover this!

There’s an official conspracy theory?

Low end bikes like that just don’t have much value used. They are generally considered disposable. Still if it is in good ridable shape you might get $50. Some times you cant give them away… Used helmets are iffy to the buyer. You never can be certain they are in good safe condition, even if they look nice. A nice camelback might be worth more than the bike and helmet!
