The captain was able to radio a quick distress message to the Coast Guard. Realizing that there was a fire, he alerted the four other crewmembers. When the fire started, 5 crewmembers were asleep in their bunks in the crew berthing and 1 crewmember and 33 passengers were asleep in the bunkroom below.Ī crewmember sleeping in crew berthing was awakened by a noise and got up to investigate. Conception was anchored in Platts Harbor on Santa Cruz Island, 21.5 NM SSW of Santa Barbara, CA. ~Fire and Sinking of the Dive Boat Conception~Ībout 0314 Pacific daylight time on September 2, 2019, the "Conception," a 75-foot-long small passenger vessel was reported on fire. Contributing to the spread of the fire was the lack of fire detection in the vessel’s lazarette, which was not required by regulations and which allowed the fire to take hold unbeknownst to the crew. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determines that the probable cause of the fire on board Island Lady was ineffective preventive maintenance program and insufficient guidance regarding the response to engine high-temperature conditions. The Island Lady, valued at $450,000, was declared a constructive total loss. Fifteen people were injured and transported to local hospitals one passenger died in the hospital several hours after the fire. All crewmembers, employees, and passengers evacuated the vessel by entering the water and wading/crawling ashore. The captain deliberately beached the vessel in shallow water near shore to evacuate the passengers. During the return trip, smoke began filling the lazarette, main deck, and engine room. After receiving a high-temperature alarm on the port engine, the captain turned the Island Lady around to return to the dock. Fifty-three people were on board the Island Lady. This had to be the longest or perhaps the shortest 6 minutes of these passengers’ lives!Ībout 1600 on the afternoon of January 14, 2018, a fire broke out in an unmanned space on the small passenger vessel "Island Lady" near Port Richey, Florida, during a scheduled transit to a casino boat located about 9 miles offshore. Less than 6 minutes from the time of take-off until the plane ditched. This is a great read and includes transcripts of the radio communications and the voice cockpit recorder. While this is a departure from our normal MARINE accident investigations. Visual meteorological conditions (VFR) prevailed at the time of the accident. The flight was operating under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 121 on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan. One flight attendant and four passengers were seriously injured, and the airplane was substantially damaged. The 150 passengers, including a lap-held child, and 5 crewmembers evacuated the airplane via the forward and overwing exits. The flight was enroute to Charlotte, North Carolina, and had departed LGA about 2 minutes before the bird encounter event occurred. On January 15, 2009, about 1527 eastern standard time, US Airways flight 1549, an Airbus A320-214, N106US, experienced an almost complete loss of thrust in both engines after encountering a flock of birds and was subsequently ditched on the Hudson River about 8.5 miles from LaGuardia Airport (LGA), in New York City. The resulting damage to the vessel and its components was estimated at $21,000. The operator and 18 passengers survived without injury. Twenty passengers died, three received serious injuries, and six received minor injuries in the accident. Operators of recreational vessels nearby observed the accident, proceeded immediately to the site, and began rescuing survivors. Within a few seconds, the Ethan Allen rolled to port and overturned. At the same time, the Ethan Allen encountered a wave or waves generated by one or more vessels on its starboard side. As it neared Cramer Point, the operator began a turn to the right. The vessel proceeded northbound along the western side of the lake at an estimated speed of 8 mph.
On the afternoon of October 2, 2005, the New York State-certificated public vessel Ethan Allen, with a New York State-licensed operator and 47 passengers on board, departed the marina at Lake George, New York, for a cruise of the lake. ~The Capsize and Sinking of the Ethan Allen~ Remember, the common sense decision process as well as situational awareness begins long before you step aboard your boat. For me personally, I begin to visualize the chain of events that led up to the accident, the decision making involved (whether good or bad), and can see where, had one of these events been removed from the chain, the accident may have been avoided. In all seriousness, much can be said for reading about what has happened to others on the water. Because it is a lot cheaper than having one yourself?
