El Faro’s Wreck Deeper Than The Titanic’s – Loss Explained By NTSB [video]

The El Faro, an American cargo ship, sank during Hurricane Joaquin in 2015. This was the deadliest shipping disaster involving a US vessel in over 30 years, resulting in the loss of 33 crew members. The ship lies at a depth of over 15,400 feet, deeper than the Titanic, which makes it unsuitable for diving. The NTSB released a detailed analysis questioning why the captain chose to sail into the hurricane despite crew concerns, leading to this tragic event.
