Survivors described chaos and severe injuries. Our US forces then handcuffed the crew at gunpoint, placed black hoods over their heads, seized and scrubbed their devices and and then held them for days. Ultimately the crew was released, given there was no evidence, no evidence to support any narco activity or any charges that may be against them. So to recap, we struck a vessel, we struck it again, set fire to us as it was sinking, and as public reports say, even drank their beer. (01:49–02:00)
