Hopefully those poor people went quick.

I think that has to do with the close proximity to the equator. Weather is really screwy around there. My stepdad was an engineer and worked on lots of boats, mostly for NASA and the Navy regarding rocket/missle tracking. He crossed over the equator many times, and had some pretty interesting stories about how bizarre the conditions are around the equator.
