Hi,
Appears HELL!
27 people on a 36 ft. boat.
There's no rocket science needed to figure that out!
The stability of that boat was compromised!
That boat was definitely overloaded!
Owner/captain of that yacht is in "Big Trouble :!: "

I don't understand why there we people in the cabin while the boat was moving? It says that it went to take a right turn and it flipped. I really don't think it safe to be down below while the vessel is in motion...especially if gas fumes get down there somehow before the doors are closed, you can die of carbon monoxide. Anyways, I can almost guarantee that the captain didn't have 27 vests on board, such a shame.
