My information source indicated that the 2 people mentioned were actually
crewmembers and that there were in fact 3 passengers still being treated. This
is out of 94 passengers and crew that required medical attention.
NTSB will most likely do their inspection while aboard ship and in operation. It
is surprising that there are only 3 members of the team. Their report most
likely won't be made available for several years. Of greater interest will be
the Coast Guard report which should report what happened and what needs to be
corrected.
