30 Seconds to Escape: The Sinking of the Cynthia Woods | E235

In June 2008, the racing sailboat Cynthia Woods lost its keel during the Regatta de Amigos in the Gulf of Mexico and capsized in under a minute, 11 miles offshore. Safety officer Roger Stone saved two crewmates before disappearing beneath the surface. The five survivors spent 26 hours adrift with almost nothing — no life raft, no EPIRB, one flashlight. The episode explores how they made it, what went wrong, and the complicated aftermath of Roger Stone's sacrifice.
