For most things, perhaps. But how many sailors have experience of a
sinking, much less such experience from the the immediate vicinity of
the ship. Those who got sucked down, if any, won't be around to tell the
tale. Those who didn't get sucked down, and survived, would be
counter-examples.


I do not say current sailors, but history
of survival records and withnesses.

There are 2 other options.

Those surviving seeing others being sucked down,
Those being sucked down not enough to die.
