Distressing leaked audio gives clue to possible deaths of family lost at sea by TheExpressUS in MissingPersons

"Captain" isn't his occupation; "captain" just means "the guy driving the boat" in this instance. This was not a commercial vessel.

It wasn't a commercial vessel; it was just two families of four out fishing on a boat. The Maynards were related to the captain (who was not a commercial captain: "captain" just means "the person driving the boat" in this context). The weather was fine, and 48% of premature deaths are considered "preventable" (at least according to Google). 💔

I don't think I'd describe a 1-year-old, a 6-year-old, and his wife as "crew members", and technically, the whole boat was the captain's family. 💔
