Yes! I simply cannot understand hiw they were still in their rooms.
Yes, there had likely been drinking at the party and yes, it was 4am and probably at least some of the people were sleeping before the storm hit.
But with what I imagine as being a great deal of tossing and turning, windows breaking, how could they have been asleep?
Even if they had sound canceling headphones on (MOO - hypothesizing) - wouldn’t the movement wake them?
This was a big yacht but not a cruise ship - and you feel motion in a storm with a cruise ship, so you’d definitely feel it here.
Did they think it was safer to stay down below??
Because otherwise - if they weren’t down below because they chose to be - they had too little time between waking and their path being blocked.
Also - Hannah was found in her room on the left side, correct? So she never left it or she tried to leave and went back.
Her father had the stateroom next to hers but was found in the forward left cabin with 4 others, whose cabins had been on the right. So all those 5 wound up moving to presumably seek air pockets.
I do recall an earlier article (I would need to find it) where we have a quote from Angela, Hannah’s mother and Mike’s wife, where she says initially she was not worried but when the boat tilted and windows started breaking they went up/out to see what was going on. Will try to hunt down that quote unless someone else also recalls. It means she and her husband left the stateroom - but perhaps she went up to deck while he remained below - for too long? Sadly yes.
Those poor people.
