That’s Emotive Nonsense.

1) Sri Lanka’s navy responded to the ship’s distress call, finding oil slicks, life rafts, floating bodies, and debris (no intact ship remained). They rescued 32 survivors (some reports say around 30–32, including the ship’s commander and senior officers) and recovered 87 bodies, with about 60 still missing/unaccounted for.

2) It would be difficult if not impossible for a military submarine (especially one conducting a stealth torpedo attack like this) to look for or pick up survivors.

3) Modern attack submarines prioritize stealth, speed, and evasion after a strike—they are not designed or equipped like surface ships or dedicated rescue vessels for large-scale survivor recovery.

4) Stopping to surface or linger near the attack site would expose the sub to detection, counterattack, or other risks, especially in an active conflict zone.

5) The attack was described as sudden and devastating (torpedo explosion lifting the ship), likely leaving many crew trapped or killed instantly, with survivors scattered in the water. Rescue fell to nearby Sri Lankan navy ships and aircraft, who arrived after the sinking.
