Chaos On The Overloaded Ship
- Jorge clung to the tilted ship and watched the captain try to balance the overloaded Itata during the storm.
- The ship listed, water poured in, and the crew struggled before the captain gave a final whistle to abandon ship.
A Lone Leap Into The Ocean
- Jorge jumped into the ocean as lifeboats were lowered and quickly lost sight of them in the dark waves.
- He swam alone, exhausted, while cold and panic set in as the ship disappeared beneath the sea.
Saved Briefly By A Horse
- Jorge mistook a swimming horse for a shark and managed to grab its tail for a time.
- The horse pulled him through icy water for about an hour before a wave made his hold slip.
