How the fuck does a hole the size of a fist sink a boat that big? I thought all boats that big had to have water tight sections that could be sealed off.

From what I've learned the water tight sections broke and they didn't have the experience or equipment to fix it. They lost power and when the pumps shuts down you're kind of doomed...
