Faulty survival suits, inconsistent safety training and non-maintained safety gear.
Those deaths were not an accident.
What a tragedy for the families left behind.

First time on that tug for the young Cragg fellow, minimal orientation if any and undocumented, very tragic. Some might know his dad from Pacific Coast yacht sales.

Young guy had his whole life ahead of himself, only to be cut short by a company taking short cuts in training for what? , to save $$
I hope the family sues his butt and puts him in the poor house!!
