They say it on page 340/510, it's far from their last words

It's not even the final words in the screenshot lmao

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's the last by that speaker though?

Sure, but it says last recorded broadcast of the ship, not the person

You’re hired

From the source 2M has spoken at 7:26, hours afterwards

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but you said the screenshot

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 43 points 2 months ago

He still said it during a life or death situation. I respect that.

The last few pages of the transcript are chilling. I don't know who this helmsman, AB-1, is, but I deeply feel for them.

(Implied) heavy content

CAPT: come on @AB-1. gotta move. (we) gotta move. you gotta get up. you gotta snap out of it- and we gotta get out. AB-1: okay. CAPT: come up. AB-1: okay.

AB-1: help me. CAPT: don't panic. don't panic. CAPT: work your way up here. AB-1: I can't.

AB-1: help me. CAPT: you're okay. come on. CAPT: don't freeze up @AB-1. come on.

AB-1: I can't *. CAPT: yes you can *. AB-1: my feet are (slipping/slippery).

AB-1: I need a ladder. CAPT: we don't have a ladder @AB-1. AB-1: (a line). CAPT: I don't have a line @AB-1. AB-1: you gunna leave me

AB-1: (I need someone to/help somebody) help me. (you don't wanna/you gunna) help me? CAPT: I'm the only one here @AB-1.

AB-1: (I can't). AB-1: I can't. AB-1: (I'm gone/I'm a goner).

Yeah I read the Wikipedia page and it went from "rhut row" to downright depressing real quick

On October 5, an unidentified body in a survival suit, presumed to be from El Faro, was found but was not recovered. According to the rescue diver, the body was unrecognizable, its head three times normal size

how tf does that happen?

My guess is a combination of bloating from decomposition and, more importantly, pressure from the depths

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

waterlogged, cells are swollen with ocean water probably

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

classic boneswell of the skull

I started looking for confirmation a bit ago and really appreciate your source. A search for ‘Merchant Mariner Ship ruh roh’ led me to the El Faro, but no articles contained the actual quote. On my phone browser it was quoted on 339, just as a heads up for anyone else.
