Of
the 1,196 aboard, about 900 made it into the water in the
twelve minutes before she sank. Few life rafts were released.
Most survivors wore the standard kapok life jacket. Shark
attacks began with sunrise of the first day, and continued
until only 316 men were still alive when rescued, almost five
days later.
