If there were an survivors then they would only have about 5 minutes or less before they died of Hypothermia, which is a terrible way to die, a very slow and painfull experience then u blackout and drown. Its even worst if your on land and you die that way cause your extremeties freeze and start dying. Winter survivial course Grad.
But then again i'd rather be cold then hot, hmm maybe i should change my career from firefighter to New England Cod Fisherman..

Hey Codcomander, i bet u heard about those two fishing ships from New Bedford that went missing/sank last month i think? Crappy way to go out of this life, in a Gumby suit.

Yeah i just watched the Guardian, about USGC rescue swimmers, and Holy @#$% the stuff they do to save others... I know how it feels to be in freezing water.
Interesting fact, you can die from hypothermia when its summer in the caribbean. some people dont know that.
