“Not sure if you’ve been following the weather at all,” Randolph wrote in an e-mail to her mother on Thursday, “but there is a hurricane out here and we are heading straight into it.”

What shipping company dispatches a vessell into a Cat 4?

Been following it very closely. Can't believe the Capt steered right into it. Sounds like they lost power and ended up in36 hours of 130 it winds.

We are sailing in the same area in three weeks.

Sad.

"What we've all questioned from the very start is why the captain would take them through a hurricane of this magnitude, or any hurricane," said Barry Young, uncle of crew member Shaun Riviera.
Terrence Meadows, a junior engineer and union member, said the captain and company made a poor decision to go to sea. He added there is often pressure for captains to stay on schedule.
