To answer your signature question!!
Okay ... The CSI answer:
I'm thinking physics here. (Or is this one of those trick questions?)
Depending on the weights and amount of people in the boat, I have to suggest that maybe the skipper set a ladder in the water that perhaps barely reached the water.
When all the people jumped in for a swim, the loss of weight on the boat raised it out of the water somewhat (see buoyancy/displacement/whatever) ...
As the boat rises, so does the ladder.
Which means the ladder ended up out of reach to the swimmers - who were obviously not obeying boating rules and were not wearing life-jackets - couldn't reach, and therefore drowned.
On behalf of the Kagaku Ninja Tai:
The Answer of the Eagle:
Galactor! It had to be Galactor!
The Condor :
Galactor! They shot my parents, and now they're killing everyone as a direct attack at me!
They must die!
The Swan:
People died? Oh my God. That's horrible ...
The Swallow:
Sharks ... Sharks did it ... Or they ate Oneechan's cooking.
The Owl:
Damn amateurs!
If they had GPS on their boat, stayed within the normal boating areas, and kept constant contact with the coast guard, and the skipper had remained on board - like they should! - AND had on their life-vests, noone would have died.
This is just a show of complete ignorance on the part of amateur boaters who don't respect the ocean.
A simple Mayday call over the radio and boats/choppers would have been on the scene to rescue all of them.
Idiots!
Am I right?

Bolding is mine ...
Then you and I need to talk - cos I have BIG BIG BIG issues with the current standard for sizings.
This whole "inches difference" thing is bullshit. Apparently, by that measurement I am a lowly <not saying> - Yet I explode out of a cup that is a size bigger ... (I.e. I am at least 2 sizes over what the "norm" suggests I should be) ... Speaking of: I had to get fitted for a tuxedo last week by our store guys (can I tell you how embarrassing it is that the store people know my EXACT measurements?!) for the Big Bike ride next week (oh, don't ask why a tux <groan> although look for Swannie on the news that night) ... So we were getting measured, and the tailor took my bust measurement.
Heh. The buyer from this office, who was jotting down the measurements actually coughed - wide eyes and all - when the tailor said what it was. Especially when he checked it against the waist/hip measurements.
And yet ... alas ... the tuxedo company still fucked it up. I had to walk from the washroom to the back offices in a practically transparent white shirt wearing a black bra trying to hold the damn thing closed across the twins (apparently tux shirts don't have actual buttons) .. The shirt was at least two inches too small across the bust.
Tell me how you can screw that up? 39" is 39" ... There is no deviation there ...
Oh, and the pant! Jesus. I feel like one of those teenagers, you know with the crotch at knee level and the plumber's butt thing going.
And, yeah ... when we say a 36" inseam, we fucking mean a 36" inseam! Yes, my legs are 3 feet long from the crotch ... WTF would they send pants that are only 32" long? We're supposed to be advertising how freaking awesome we are at fitting men clothing/tuxedos/suits and stuff ... and you screw it up?!
And being that arm length directly correlates with height, when we say I am 5'11", please give me arm length that is compatible!!
Ahh rant over ... I get miffed when people get shit that wrong ...
God. I am going to look like a damn idiot on Tuesday ...
Well, then again ... a sloppy tux on a girl might actually end up looking adorable ...
Back to topic:
Men and naughty shops - me, I love them! Flash, he stands out in the corridor and waits ...
I am a La Senza junkie!! You can never have too many pretty little under-thingies ... When Victoria's Secret comes to Canada ... I am in so much trouble!!

Swan Jun, your rant is to long to quote;
My husband is over being embarassed about coming into the shop, my other male friends are hesitant to come in...don't know why LOL
From what you say you are in the wrong cup size. (just try the next letter up) You probably have a small back,(my guess 10 or12)
I don't work alot in American sizes.
I work at BNT, Australia's equvlent to Victorias secret, our model went to the US and they made her lose weight when she went over there, and we were NOT HAPPY with the bony girl that she became and we complained about it big time!
She had to be a size 6 to model in the US and looked awful when she came home to model again.
(She was beautiful before she left.She has gained a little weight now and looks normal and healthy in the photo's and gorgeous again.that's my rant)
I have fitted women who go into G cup sizes(I pity them for the back aches they get)
I have fitted people for formal wear before and I know your pain, (I have made bridal gowns) millimeters is much better than inches to work with. It is more acurate. Suits are not easy to fit, they were rather rude with the measuring, I never indicate if a size surprises me...I bet you wanted to throw a few shrurkiens at them! I would have, dammit!

G? Woah ... At the peak of my pregnancy, I was in an F-cup. I nearly died when the girl at the maternity store fitted me.
I actually kept that bra as a reminder of those big, porno boobs you get naturally only once in a lifetime ...
People told me that they shrink to below original size when all is said and done ... uh, no they don't! They shrank, but to one size bigger than before.
I remember back home, being rather top-heavy, actually getting a prescription for pot from my doctor to ease the pain - I refused to consider surgery, cos I loved my ta-ta's - I was consistently accused of having fakes because, damn, they were nice. (I was in an INTERESTING field of work at the time - <grins> - This swannie was a dancer, like our actual Swannie)
Now, they ... um ... haven't recovered so well from a little tiny person.
I'd love to work in a lingerie store - awesome discounts!!
I currently work in menswear at Corp office, which is great for Flash, but sucks for me. I get 40% off (anyone need to shop for their Eagle or Condor?) ...Hope you get the same!

They shrink, but become empty and flat. Sans-bra measurement is low, but pull them up into the cups and they fill them nicely. Ah, well, hubby can't really complain; it was his doing.
I hate the way, if you don't buy clothes of that type regularly, the sizes change without warning. I know I haven't gone down, but I have to buy the smaller sizes. And each rack has a different convention.
And I hear you on the inches thing! What really bugs me is when they claim they're actual inches. 30-something band. Oh, wait, you have to add 2 (or is it 4) inches to it to get your real rib-cage. Oh, wait again! That was last year; the manufacturers have shifted it another half inch.
I don't care what my number is, I just want something that says 10 inches to be 10 inches!
If they want a girl to fit into a tuxedo, they need a different shaped top!
Hint on the bras, though. I hated underwires. Every few years Mom would talk me into one and I'd manage a few hours with it. Had shoulder problems a few years ago, and the therapy included straightening my upper back and rounded shoulders. And the underwires don't dig in nearly as much anymore! (Yay! I can use up those old ones rather than go buy more.)
