Ice impacts while it was sitting in the water waiting to be raised!
Ice impacts, boat impacts, sea wall impacts, Hudson River bottom impacts, misc. debris, improper handling while they were trying to wrestle her when the Hudson current was taking out to the Atlantic!
They could raise more money if they also auctioned off the name and address of the passenger who freaked and opened the back door that caused her to sink!!!!
