Wasso Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 I hope Lexx and Mart aren't involved in this? Quote
Lexx Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 We're all ok. Martin is on leave, and I'm down at Tilbury. We're just waiting to hear more news on who is involved. Quote
Vik54 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 It was called Chieftan...they're searching for one crew member... Quote
Wasso Posted August 12, 2011 Author Posted August 12, 2011 Just saw headline news of it with no sound at the pub so thought I'd just check Quote

Friday is ALWAYS curry and pint day, as well as Wendesday, and if there's any birthdays or people leaving. So there's always a reason to head to the pub, even if it's 3-4 times a week! Quote

It's hard work Ian, but somebodies got to do it huh? For the record, this post is from atop a turbine in the irish sea, so I'm not exactly grafting today either! Quote
garetgax Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 I hope the third crew member is located soon safe and sound. Quote

Lexx Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 The 3rd crewmember still not been found. They are starting the salvage operation in mid week when the tidal rates are smaller. Quote
martinmac Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Very sad indeed. There have been too may losses this year. Quote

That's so sad - it must've gone done very fast. I hope they find his body so at least his family have some closure. Quote
Lexx Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Eyewitness reports said she went down in less than 60 seconds. Quote
Lexx Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Her and Stevie B were on one of those Skylite crane barges. Thats laid up at Denton Moorings now. MCA been crawling all over it. Quote
Lexx Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 The body of the missing crewman was found Monday at Depthford, but no details where released until yesterday when they confirmed the identity. The Tug itself is due to be raised tomorrow. Quote
choptop Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Did think about you and martinmac when I heard this. Water can be a dangerous place to be. Glad you are both ok though. Feel for those who did not make it. Quote
