Or did a wave like the Lakes have never seen pick her up and drive her to the bottom. Watch Arthur M. Anderson video from 11/10/2020 give a salute to the Fitzgerald pulling into a load out.

I think it was the waves as well.  I watched a video on Youtube, as I'm sure you all have as well, where the captain of the Arther M Anderson talks about a couple massive waves that hit his freighter.  It was his opinion that the waves took the Fitz down.  He had lots of experience and was going through the same storm in the same location as the Fitz.  I respect his opinion.
