He said, “Some didn’t want to put them on because they were taking selfies.” “They said that they get in the way of their tanning.”
The boat’s captain, whose name has not been made public, has been giving the authorities thorough explanations of what transpired.
When the boat started to sink, he apparently did all he could to attempt to save the people.
The five-survivor skipper said that despite his boat’s limited capacity of five persons, he had been ordered to bring six influencers back to land.
Other people who survived the tragic event were Vanessa Audrey da Silva, Camila Alves de Carvalho, Daniel Goncalves Ferreira, Gabriela Santos Lima, and Natan Cardoso Soares da Silva.
