NS whitetail Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 You fall asleep at the wheel of a lobster boat. These guys were coming in from a lobsterfishing trip the other night and ran aground on a small island just offshore from the mainland. The guy who was bringing the boat in fell asleep in the captains chair. They all got off save and were rescued but the boat ended up getting destroyed when the tide came up.

buckee Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Re: this is what happens when ..... (pic) I couldn't imagine falling asleep at the wheel of a ship. It's bad enough trying to dodge disaster when your wide awake. Glad no one was hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: this is what happens when ..... (pic) ouch--glad everyone made it out ok. We had a tragedy here in oklahoma several years ago when a captain fell asleep and ran into a bridge and drivers drove right off into the lake. I get an errey (sp?) feeling everytime I drive over that bridge. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archerjg Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: this is what happens when ..... (pic) Glad to hear that everyone got off fine. I would not want to be the one having to explain that to the owner of the boat and the investigators. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see how easy it would have been to not see the missing bridge..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
