Great video. What can you guys tell from it - heavy rain, visibility looks poor, expat crew.

No early rumors yet of why it went in? Weather makes me think CFIT, or maybe an engine accidentally shut down when they went to arm the floats, what else.....control problem leading the crew to elect to ditch close, (but not too close), etc?? Passengers look pretty calm, no big rush for the exits.

Nice rescue boat, gear looks complete and well-organized (helmets with visors, lifejackets, etc), arrives pretty quick too. I like that oil company already - is it Chevron?
