Thanks latteju that makes sense

No radio ? No flares ? No Beacon ? No Epirb? Sounds like a disaster looking for a place to happen
In this interview, the fisherman tells the boat flipped in 20-30 seconds after being hit by a rogue wave. Probably no time to activate any of those you mention.

That is a COLD sea. I have been on it several times. Spending 20 minutes in the water of the North Sea is torture. Kudos to the Belgian Air Force.
Great work from all rescuers!
Wow! So lucky.
