The article focuses on speculating what the captain was doing at the time of the accident since he was rescued in his underwear. While under investigation, he had stated, "I left the steering house for a smoke at the time of the accident. I was going to change my pants in the cabin but had to rush out when the ferry was leaning to one side."

While he and the other crewmen were being rescued, it was discovered that he had been with a middle aged Korean woman and a female Filipino singer in the steering house.

They are all currently under investigation as to what they were exactly doing in the steering house at the time of the accident.
