But joaquin didnt even brush the u. S. Coast. The most powerful atlantic cyclone in five years found its victims at sea 33 men and women onboard an American Ship called el faro. She was lost in the bermuda triangle, carrying a mystery to a grave deeper than the titanics, the greatest loss of a u. S. Ship in 35 years. The National Transportation safety board has allowed us inside its investigation to show the enormous challenges. It intends to shine a light on what went wrong, for the families and for the future, true to el faros name in english, the lighthouse. The u. S. Naval ship apache carved a calm atlantic off the bahamas on the search for el faro. She carried sophisticated Diving Technology under the command of captain gregg baumann, the navys supervisor of salvage and diving. Gregg baumann unfortunately, in a lot of the things that we do, it does involve a tragedy like this. And its just absolutely gut wrenching. But at the end of the day, what it is that you really want to do is bring. Bring answers back, bring. Help bring closure to the families. Pelley but answers were obscured by extreme depth and only a rough idea of where to look. Tom rothroffy this is the most difficult and complex investigation ive ever worked on in my 17 years with the National Transportation safety board. Pelley tom rothroffy is the lead investigator. All he had was the ships last position, an oil slick, and a little debris at the surface. Whats your level of confidence that, at the end of all of this, youre going to know exactly why this ship sank . Rothroffy weve experienced this sort of challenges before on other investigations, and were hopeful that well be able to determine the cause of the sinking. Pelley this is el faro, a typical mediumsized cargo ship, nearly 800 feet long. She was distinctive in a few ways she served the u. S. Military in the iraq war; she was cut in half two decades ago and lengthened 90 feet; and she was 40 years old, an age when container ships are commonly sold for scrap. Glen jackson why was a ship 40 years old, why was it still being put in service . Pelley the families of the crew have many questions. Glen jackson lost his brother jack. Jackson why was a ship that had been grandfathered in to not have the enclosed lifeboats being allowed to sail with just the open hull, like whaling lifeboats, and expecting people to survive in that . Pelley Tinisha Thomas lost her husband shawn. Tinisha thomas i asked the company a question why did they allow the ship to continue to go into the storm . Pelley they didnt have to go into the hurricane . Thomas they did not have to go into the hurricane. Pelley september 29, el faro left jacksonville, florida, for puerto rico. Captain michael davidson, who had a long career, intended to steer 65 miles south of the storms predicted path. Even in a hurricane, the ship could likely survive by using its turbine engine to keep the bow pointed directly into the waves, a ships most survivable angle. But in 18 hours, joaquin spun into a category three and slid southwest toward el faro. At 7 00 a. M. , october 1, davidson made an emergency call to the ships owner, tote maritime. What do we know from the captains last report . Rothroffy we know that they had lost propulsion, that the engineers were unable to restart the main engine. We know that the vessel was listing about 15 degrees, and that one of the hatches had popped or had come open. Pelley he was taking on water . Rothroffy correct. Pelley if the ship lost power, as the captain reported, you would expect her to turn sideways to the waves, and that is her most vulnerable position . Rothroffy thats correct. Pelley the ship was approximately here, miles from the eye of the storm. The forecast predicted gusts of 150 miles an hour and seas of 30 feet. Three weeks later, apache arrived in a search area of 198 square miles. Chief sonar operator charles kapicka towed a sidescan sonar for five days when he spotted something you dont see in nature a right angle. Charles kapicka very right angles, straight with a shadow. At this point im calling over, saying i think this is something coming up you want to see. Pelley as the sonar scan slowly unfurled, the sound waves reflected the shape of a ship about 800 feet long. Baumann so, at that point, we talked with the ntsb and said, we believe we have found it. But before we gave full confirmation, we then put our curv in the water, and then did a survey of the hull with moving and still photography. Pelley the cablecontrolled underwater recovery vehicle can reach 20,000 feet. And these are the cameras . Baumann correct. So heres a pan and tilt camera. You got some lights right here. Pelley there is zero light at 15,000 feet. Baumann correct. Pelley total, utter darkness. So any light you have, you have to bring with you. Baumann absolutely. Pelley apache dropped curv 15,500 feet, nearly three miles. In the abyss, the temperature is about 33 degrees. The pressure more than three tons per square inch. Flurries of tiny marine life drift by, but fish are rare in the impenetrable darkness. This is where el faro came to rest upright, hull largely intact, her name mangled on the stern. Her depth markings reported that this, the bow, had sunk 15 feet into the mud. Her autopsy revealed a body that had been savagely beaten steel crushed, equipment collapsed. There was no sign of the 33 crewmembers. Equipment and cargo litter the seabed. Thats a microwave oven. And on the right, thats a printer. Here is the top of a car with a sun roof, part of the cargo. What do we see there . Rothroffy that is a liquid storage container. And you can see that its kind of compressed, kind of imploded by the pressure of the sea. Pelley of its 400 cargo containers, only two remain on deck. And toward the stern, in the structure called the house, where the crew lived and worked, curv discovered the most chilling evidence of the power of an unforgiving sea. Rothroffy now, at the top of that white line there is. Is the most surprising part of our video surveys. Theres nothing above there. Pelley what should be there . Rothroffy there should be two decks above that, the lower navigation bridge deck and the bridge deck. Pelley the two top decks had sheared off, including the bridge, where captain davidson would have been fighting the storm. They were nowhere near the ship. Also missing, the voyage data recorder, like a socalled black box on an airplane. It had been bolted to the top of the bridge and was the one piece tom rothroffy wanted most. Rothroffy because it would have told us what the crew was experiencing at the time in. In the minutes before the vessel sank, what they observed you know, the extent of the flooding, how they were responding; essentially, the events leading up to the actual catastrophe. Pelley you know, im curious when you first saw the video of the ship, what did you think . Rothroffy we were looking, of course, for the. For the bridge and the voyage data recorder. And we. We got up to that level, and to see just openness was. Is extremely moving and difficult to. It was a very big surprise to us to see that. Pelley moving in what way . Rothroffy just to. To see the violence of the sea and the winds that. That would have had to occur to cause that kind of. Im sorry. To cause that kind of an event. Pelley because, certainly, there would have been people on the bridge. Rothroffy yes. Pelley . When that happened. Rothroffy yes, quite certainly. And the shock and surprise to them as. As waves and whatnot. And theyre just washed into the ocean. Pelley when you found out the news, how did you tell your son and daughter . Tina riehm how do you say anything to your kids . Pelley jeremie riehm left behind two children, 13 and 22, and his wife, tina. Riehm that was hard, because i guess i was in denial. I thought we had to tell my kids that it wasnt looking good for daddys ship. And that was. That was terrible. Its, like, my chest collapsed, and we couldnt breathe. It was very. Pelley deb roberts lost her son, michael holland. Deb, do you have an opinion on where responsibility lies in this . Deb roberts im not a professional. Im not an engineer, im a business manager. I think it was a series of unfortunate events. And without any other information, i truly blame it on Hurricane Joaquin. Pelley glen, in. In your estimation, where does the responsibility for this lie . Jackson squarely on tote maritime. And you got to understand, commercial shipping, they got to keep that ship moving to make money. And it. Thats the whole horror of this tragedy is that 33 people died so that frozen chickens could be delivered on time in puerto rico. Thats it. Pelley the safety board told us that tote maritime, the owner, is cooperating fully. Tote declined to talk with us, other than to say it created a fund for the families and that el faro was regularly maintained. The ship had passed two inspections in the months before the accident. A week after we left, apache located those two bridge decks about half a mile from the ship. The windows were blown out. The voyage data recorder was not there. But based on the captains last message, investigator Tom Roth Roffy has a lead on the loss of propulsion. Rothroffy i believe we have an understanding that it was actually the main turbine, the steam turbine that was lost. Pelley one theory is, in violent seas, the propeller might have been thrust out of the water, causing it to spin too fast and shut down the turbine. The captain sailed into this hurricane, we know that much, but what we dont know is why. Rothroffy so were looking at the oversight and the direction and the advice provided by the operating company, tote, to see what information was available to him. Certainly, also, were looking at the weather forecast, the accuracy and the timeliness of the information when he made his decision to sail where he did. Pelley to your knowledge, was he receiving orders from the company to press on . Rothroffy no. From what weve identified so far, in the information weve reviewed, there has been no direct guidance by the company to sail on the route he chose. Pelley the chairman of the ntsb, christopher hart, says it will take at least a year to answer the remaining questions. Do you have confidence that youre going to learn the probable cause of this accident . Christopher hart im sure that it will be difficult, given the situation 15,000 feet of water, no voyage data recorder yet. We may still find it, but given that, we have a history of finding out what happened, even in the most difficult circumstances. And im comfortable to say that we will be able to do that again. Pelley the families believe some of the crew are entombed in the ship, where they would have been struggling to get the turbine running. Richard pusatere, the chief engineer, was most likely leading that fight. Frank pusatere is his father. You believe that your son was in the engine room . Frank pusatere oh, most definitely. And until someone could prove me wrong, which would be the black box or any other thing, or richard walking through that door. Is that, when the ship listed and then capsized, i guarantee you they were injured. They were knocked out. And it. That was over. And they were all together. And thats. Thats how i want to believe it. And until you can prove me wrong, scott, or anyone else, thats the way its going to happen. And thats my report to the National Transportation safety board.

But last month, police in italy nabbed 7,000 tons of phony olive oil. Much of it was bound for american stores. The oil was from north africa, deodorized with chemicals and rebranded as more expensive italian extra virgin. The scam was cooked up by organized crime. Mafia copies of fine olive oil, wine, and cheese have fueled an explosion of food crime in italy. Its estimated to be a 16 billionayear enterprise. The italians call it agro mafia, and its a scandal for a people whose cuisine is considered a national treasure. The image of gangsters in the kitchen was too delicious for us to ignore, so we went to italy, where we found elite food Police Hunting wiseguys, and signs agromafia specialties are reaching the United States. Leave it to the italians to fight the mafia with good taste. slurping this panel certifies the authenticity of extra Virgin Olive Oil, a favorite target of the agromafia. They can tell at first sip whether extra virgin has been diluted with cheap Sunflower Oil or canola. Sergio, why do they make that sound, like they are sucking in air . Sergio tirro they need it to mist it on the back of their throats. Whitaker they have to suck it in the back of their throats. Tirro they have to suck it in. Whitaker major sergio tirro is considered one of the top investigators of food fraud in europe. Think elliot ness in a uniform designed by giorgio armani. Tirro most of the fraud has been discovered with the expertise like this. Whitaker their skills are so respected, italian courts will accept taste results as evidence. Tirro has 60 cops trained to do this, too. Whitaker . And 1,100 more conducting inspections and fraud investigations. On the day we visited headquarters, officers were monitoring wiretaps and live video from hidden cameras placed in suspected warehouses around italy. This looks like the f. B. I. Tirro yes. We can call ourselves the f. B. I. Of food. Whitaker in the last two years, they have seized 59,000 tons of food. The agromafias ingredients are poor quality and sometimes contaminated with solvents or pesticides. When i tell somebody that im coming to italy to do a piece about food fraud, it almost seems unbelievable. Tirro it is a serious problem because its not only a commercial fraud. If you adulterate an extra Virgin Olive Oil with seed oil, and those bottles reach consumers who are allergic to seed oil, you are sending them bombs. Whitaker bombs on your kitchen shelf. Tirro yes. Whitaker the agromafia has also tried to rip off italian shoppers with mozzarella whitened with detergent and rotten seafood deodorized with citric acid. My favorite, italian wines how are they adulterated . Tirro they generally use. To mix poor quality wine and brand it as famous wine. Whitaker so you take a cheap table wine and just put a famous stamp on it . Tirro yes. Whitaker and sell it . Tirro yes. Whitaker in tuscany, cops found 42,000 gallons of runof themill red that was going to be sold as top
