Four students and one safety official from the vessel were rescued after floating for 26 hours in choppy seas, while another safety official, Roger Stone, was found dead aboard the sunken vessel. Mr. Stone drowned after heroically helping two students escape the cabin of the vessel. The Cynthia Woods sank after the keel of the vessel became separated from the hull, causing the vessel to take on water and capsize extremely quickly. http:// /tp-070608095925/post-080616105820.shtml http:// /tp-070608095925/post-080616105820.shtml Vessel Crashes and Collisions Mon, 16 Jun 2008 10:58:20 -0700
