I know what you mean since a sinking ship would scare me as well.

It looks like a big yacht, and so it is surprising that it got into trouble. It was good they were all rescued before it went underwater. I wonder if the yacht was salvaged/saved too.

The Coast Guard will likely salvage the yacht that sunk into the ocean soon.
