On Tuesday April 20, 2010 The Fishing Vessel Northern Belle sank suddenly in the Gulf of Alaska. The US Coast Guard, Kodiak Alaska received the Captain’s Mayday call and were able to mount a harrowing rescue. Sadly, the Captain and his dog, Baxter were lost.

Say again?
Amazing content. Just wanted to leave a comment. Thanks so much.
Thank you for another excellent video. And as always, thanks for reminding me that my safety matters. That's a critical thing I need to keep in the back of my mind at my job.
Thank you.
Great video. I know you don't typicall delve into airplane crashes. But here are a few that would seem to fall more within your wheelhouse. Whereby they are stunning examples of neglect, cheating safety rules, or corporate malfeasance. Alaska Airlines Flight 261 off the California Coast, Fine Air Flight 101 in Miami, and one that you would enjoy disentangling the corporate shenanigans Manx2 Flight 7100 in Northern Ireland
'The Imperfect Storm'. Thanks BI!
That sign off of yours, "Your Safety Matters". Its so deeply impactful.
I heard a story once, of someone learning various labor laws for the first time. They had a chuckle at something like "Moving toxic materials is hazardous" or something of the like. An older co worker turned to them and said "These laws were written in blood".
And I think, after all this time, with protections being rolled back and times changing, now more than ever, everyone deserves to hear that their safety matters.
Incredible presentation, wisdom and knowledge in the field. Wow!
Great Channel!
My dad, a commercial fisherman in New England, was a brave man, fighting those seas & weather.
I always wonder how many ships are out right now that do not meet current maritime safety regulations.
Its funny to see you covering this episode, I have heard this distress call many times at my work and it always makes me a bit sad since I know the story.
Please remember, one and all: you are not your productivity and you are not the stigmas. Please be safe. Nothing you make or provide is worth your life.
The two most important rules I've picked up when I entered the manufacturing industry and still remains with me today are:
1. Safety regulations are written in blood
2. It's the "normal" things that will kill you
I'm not the safety guy (I used to be the process guy of the company) but this has been something I've tried my best to instill to all of the new hires we got back in my former company, no matter their position or their work location. I've lost count of the number of times I'd gotten in arguments behind closed doors with supervisors about there being too much dust in their site or have too much unsegregated scrap. I've had to make too many incident recreations and reports to ever let minor things become "normal"
I hope your channel brings this sort of thing more into the mainstream
As someone who’s done marine emergency response, that last monologue you did hit deep. The sheer difference between the standards I’ve seen between our safety standards and those I’ve seen on other commercial vessels is staggering sometimes.
Phenomenal work as usual. I come from the airline world but find these marine incidents incredibly fascinating. Always lessons to be learned. Your presentation is great!
I don’t really know about boats, or regulations. I don’t even live near the ocean. But I am captivated by harrowing stories. The more I watch videos like this, the more I learn that tragedy don’t just happen, they start over a period of time.
Your op-ed highlights my exact thoughts, especially as someone who works in the trucking industry as dispatcher and fleet managing. I really wished more people understood that regulations are written in blood and are placed for the safety of your person and of others around you. It's unfortunate that regulations in industry are just not up to par as they should be.
28:30 This is a really key point. These ships often pass a glance test as they're presumed to be traveling short distances carrying catch. Not for 2,500 mile journeys carrying construction equipment.
I was not mentally prepared for that radio transmission at all. The fear in his voice was gut wrenching and heartbreaking.
Been looking forward to another one of your videos for while. So glad to see you back.
Love this channel !
RIP Baxter 🐶🙏
That story is like the train disaster in Italy in WW2. It was not report because an invasion happen.
Another cool video
Please please see if you can find out what happened to the JUMBO Floating Restaurant ship that was "capsized" in the Paracel Islands. The story seems to have disappeared without resolution.
Aww, puppy…
