In 2015 a cargo ship set out on a routine voyage - and then vanished without a trace with its full complement of 33 crew members. The El Faro was a veteran ship with a veteran skipper - so how was she so suddenly and violently lost? Today we'll revisit the events and learn about El Faro's final voyage - and how the whole disaster could have been prevented.
