Only one survived: Luis Alejandro Velasco. After ten days adrift, he was received as a hero. The regime of dictator Rojas Pinilla used his story as propaganda, attributing the accident to a \"storm.\" However, Velasco secretly sought out a young journalist to tell him the truth: there was no storm; the ship capsized due to the overweight of illegal contraband.
