In the trailer someone says to Sheldon: “You lost 6 people out there!”
But if I remember right just 4 people died (Gil Martin, Dean Preston, Dr. Alice Sheldon and Girard the cook).
Did I miss something?
Don't think so.... :)I think it was 4 peeps too

At the end of the film, six people are memorialized. Not having read the book I can't be sure, but it seems likely that in real life six people were killed, but the crew was "compressed" as so often happens in ensemble pictures, and so only 4 cast members died, if you take my meaning.
shareThat's correct. There where originally six people killed. I have an article from People magazine that talks about the true story and it mentions the six.
I kind of wish they hadn't narrowed it down to four. It just kind of messes of the whole point of what happened and how these people were affected. Still a really good movie. I can pop in the machine and watch it anytime. Sometimes I learn something new from it each time.

i only saw the lady and the ryan phillipy guy die.tell me what happened to the other 2.
shareThe other characters "Gil" was trapped inside the ship kind of like the skipper's wife. "Dean"- apparently he was trapped outside the ship under water. You will notice he tries to cut some ropes. He may have gotten tangled into them.

"Sometimes I learn something new from it each time. "
Hmmmmmmm.......... So is that sometimes or each time then?
Hehe just kidding, I kinda know what you mean.
Sometimes I learn something new each time that I watch it, yes.

Shortly after 8:30 am on 2 May 1961 the Albatross was hit by a sudden squall about 125 miles (200 km) west of the Dry Tortugas. She heeled over suddenly and sank almost instantly, taking with her Alice Sheldon, the ship's cook George Ptacnik, and students Chris Coristine, John Goodlett, Rick Marsellus, and Robin Wetherill (John Goodlett was on deck in the last minutes, but probably became entangled in some of the lines or a sail of the sinking ship while freeing a lifeboat, and Christopher Coristine reportedly went below deck in an attempt to save someone else)
