Larry Lawton, famous YTer and ex-prolific jewel thief, was in the CG before his life of crime and prison time, and talks about how he still has PTSD from some of the recovery missions he went on...seems that was about as horrific as anything he encountered in the living Hell that was 12 years in federal prison.

EPIRB for anyone who doesn't know- Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon. It has a hydrostatic release gear that gets activated when the boat/ship reaches a certain depth in the water. The gear comes loose and the EPIRB floats to the top and starts broadcasting signals that contains a unique identification number of that particular vessel

I assumed it was some kind of signal but thanks for the explanation. It helped me to understand that a person didn’t actually send a mayday signal. It kind of seems like somehow the boat went down really fast and the people didn’t have time to send a mayday signal.

@holyghost231 10 күн бұрын

@@caseyj779 yeah. It most likely was a giant rogue wave which hit them on the side and capsized the boat. A Mayday signal is sent with the push of a single button on the VHF radio. It must have been a violent impact and even a veteran captain couldn't get the mayday out.

It was considered a feat of strength. Unfortunately, it tore his body apart and he died within 2 years. The men who go down to the sea in ships.

@iancolson4648 11 күн бұрын

@@e.s.5529 i just read the coast guards press release which was that they went out overloaded in freezing spray with ice build up and the crew was fatigued. They also believe a hatch was left open stating that would cause the ship to sink within minutes. The families seem to think captain and crew were pressured by the owner to leave the dock early unprepared and wanted criminal charges brought up which was never done. This is just what I read in a news report after googling it so take that for what you will.

I had one of the least physical jobs out there, more mental work and ATC radio work. I was chilled every time Coast Guard called up as "Coast Guard Rescue ####." Even the air taxi pilots kept eyes and ears out for fellow pilots and ship crews. A few air taxi planes have marine radios by choice of the owners, in case they need to assist in a search. There's lots of dangerous jobs and the Coast Guard is standing by for any help they can give.
