И грянул шторм

Два дня спустя Берни Веббер скончался в своем доме в Мельбурне, Флорида. Ему было восемьдесят лет. У Берни было предчувствие, что он не доживет до того, чтобы увидеть свою историю, рассказанную в кинофильмах, но он всегда подчеркивал: «История спасения «Пендлтона» никогда не была историей про меня. Она всегда была историей об отваге моего экипажа и чуде этой маленькой спасательной лодки».
