Ferry Dock Collapse 13

[dik]

"At least seven people were killed and several others injured Saturday after part of a ferry dock collapsed on Georgia’s Sapelo Island, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

It happened as crowds gathered on the island for a celebration of its tiny Gullah-Geechee community of Black slave descendants.

At least 20 people were plunged into the water when a gangway collapsed on the visitor ferry dock shortly before 4 p.m., Georgia DNR Capt. Chris Hodge said at a Saturday night news conference. A McIntosh County commissioner previously said a boat hit the dock but a DNR spokesperson later told The Associated Press there was no collision and it is unclear why the dock collapsed."

Today I find many of the documents removed from the drop box. The only remaining items pertain to vessel maintenance ( MV Annemarie and MV Katie Underwood), which is irrelevant to the dock collapse. Are we to believe the documents have been pulled into a law enforcement investigation?

Please note that various records associated with the law enforcement investigation into the gangway collapse are being withheld according O.C.G.A. 50-18-72 (a)(4).

All of the documents are there now so I'm not sure if I saw things correctly yesterday. It could be that I was just in the Vessel Maintenance folder and in too much of a hurry on a different platform.

Two of several images uploaded today. More suspect welding. An image of the gangway center handrail weld is titled "marsh landing transition ramp.jpg".
