I've since become somewhat of a Fitzgerald buff and have read many books on it and teh one thing that constantly amazes me is that after all the underwater robots and massive studies they come down to three theories as to what caused the sinking. These are basically "she might have broke up or she might have capsized. She may have broke deep and took water." They put it in fancier words, but GL had it right at the start.
Hey Fezo (I love the handle),
I think Lightfoots words ring so true because he covered most possiblities with the exception of a missle hitting the Big Fitz.
I think it's a shame that the official cause is the hatch or hold covers that the crew didn't secure properly. It's a real cop out and insult. I think it hit the shoal when it was on the bottom of a wave and bam!
Keep on trucking and keep a weary eye for that 'Witch of November'
