If I find the boat/s that fell off can I keep it?

If the engine has failed as reported why does it look like its still making headway?

And why the hell did the crew stand under the life raft and jump overboard?

The port engine was definitely still running. Big seaway for a ship of that size.

And why the hell did the crew stand under the life raft and jump overboard?

Because the helicopter crew deemed that winching them off the ship was too dangerous. Ship motion and obstructions are potentially lethal to the helicopter in a winching such as this.

We regularly got the people in the water to conduct the winching. Much safer.
