My view exactly. External glass on sea worthy vessels is extremely strong so how they say the glass not breaking is a problem seams very odd. Added to the other 2 non faults, it looks like someone is being set up for a big fall. Did it take on water before capsizing? If not would watertight doors have made a difference even if they were closed properly? Maybe they should have used more cement or something heavier like lead to keep it upright. 

 

Knowing how these boats operate, my guess would be water gushed into the engine room through the doors on the dive platform that directly access the engine room. As SOP these doors were always standing open to allow for ventilation. Pumps couldn't handle the amount, so no power and vessel was doomed in bad weather.

 

There is a reason all vessels have been required to remove that access to the engine room since.
