Houston’s Greg Ward Jr . wouldn’t let his quarterback dream die even when his first starts for the Cougars came at wide receiver. Maguire was carted into the locker room but returned to the field after two Florida State possessions in the second quarter.

In an interview that aired Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” marine engineer Thomas Roth-Roffy, the NTSB’s lead investigator on the case, called the inquiry “the most hard and complex investigation I’ve ever worked on” in 17 years with the agency.

The battered hunk of metal resting at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean is the El Faro in its watery grave, according to images released Sunday by federal investigators. All 33 mariners on board died. They are still determining if and when such a search would occur. The video also shows that the top two floors of the ships bridge were ripped off during the storm.

The ship’s stern, or rear end, was buried more deeply than the bow, or front, Roth-Roffy said.

“We’ve experienced this sort of challenge before on other investigations and we’re hopeful that we will be able to determine the cause of the sinking”, Roth-Roffy told Pelley.

“Seeing the two upper decks literally sheared off the ship was pretty riveting”, said Robert Green, a pastor who lost his son in the wreckage.

The safety board continues to investigate the El Faro sinking.

After suspending their search for the data recorder in November, Roth-Roffy says they may go back to search again. The recorder was attached to the ship’s main mast, a 35-foot tall structure that crews haven’t yet located.

The ship’s data recorder charts the date, time and speed of a vessel and also records conversations on the bridge that could include the key decisions taken by the captain and crew.
