Accidents happen all the time at sea. Rigging comes loose and smashes holes in the side. Pumps aren't maintained. Rust thrives in salt water, and eats holes in sheet metal. Electric grids die and leave sailors stranded. How old was the Korean ship? How much maintenance did she enjoy? When was the last time she went in for dry dock for inspection, and did they scrape the barnacles off her hull? A boat my father owned sank at the north end of the Georgia Straights when she took on more water than she could pump because the skipper (not my Dad) didn't make sure she was properly maintained. I have a strong feeling it was human error that sunk that Korean ship.
