Great Documentary. However, I can’t help but feel that this is one of the most horrific, devastating, and tragic of peacetime maritime tragedies to have occurred surpassing the RMS TITANIC. The MV DONA PAZ tragedy had taken the lives along with those of the oil tanker MT Vector: 4,386 dead, and 27 survived. I won’t ever forget that night recorded: December 20, 1987. RIP.
