What size anchor could have actually held that huge wind-driven box of a "structure"?
A "SEA-anchor" would have delayed their inevitable "landing".

Perhaps it was a storm/wind issue... Either way, it will eventually all come out. Be happy nobody was hurt, nothing but the Dive was damaged (if there even was any damage those barges are pretty rugged). Woodsy

"Wind and storm issues".
Yup, beyond the control of the captain.
