Man how tragic
"As the boat was sinking, three crew members were able to put on their survival suits, but on-duty captain Donald Maloney was not, police said."

I don't know if this is true or not but heard it said that the capt goes down with the ship. Maybe there were only 3 survival suits and he made sure the crew all had them on? whatever the circumstances he sounds like he was a brave guy. RIP, thoughts and prayers.

A Captain is supposed to be the last one off the boat and has a duty to safeguard the lives of his crew. Usually he makes out ok. This time he didn't. Condolences and RIP.
