AB-1: help me. CAPT: don’t panic. don’t panic. CAPT: work your way up here. AB-1: I can’t.

AB-1: help me. CAPT: you’re okay. come on. CAPT: don’t freeze up @AB-1. come on.

AB-1: I can’t *. CAPT: yes you can *. AB-1: my feet are (slipping/slippery).

AB-1: I need a ladder. CAPT: we don’t have a ladder @AB-1. AB-1: (a line). CAPT: I don’t have a line @AB-1. AB-1: you gunna leave me

AB-1: (I need someone to/help somebody) help me. (you don’t wanna/you gunna) help me? CAPT: I’m the only one here @AB-1.

I started looking for confirmation a bit ago and really appreciate your source. A search for ‘Merchant Mariner Ship ruh roh’ led me to the El Faro, but no articles contained the actual quote. On my phone browser it was quoted on 339, just as a heads up for anyone else.
