You may have worked with my son’s god father Cedric Smith.

Stop finding lame excuses for the death merchants

If you compare that to other units in the lower 48 they typically get about half that maybe a little more then that. And this is just for ONE unit. AirSta Kodiak gets more SAR cases in a year then a combination of most of the shore stations in Washington State. Sorry to hear about your nephew but I have to disagree with you on the second statment.

You have to understand that they are ONLY filming during the crabbing season which runs October through January…..which is NOT the entire year. Plus most of the other boats that go down either they didn’t catch any film on it OR it wasn’t too exciting.

I agree about the overdramatization considering the extent of losses in this field in general.

I don’t intend to watch the program for that reason. I am pretty impressed by the thought of that footage being saved, as that would form building blocks of a more stable fishing industry with lesser catastrophes.

I lost my nephew in 2006 when his crab boat sank and he and all his crew were lost.
Still, the West Coast lower 48 fisheries are more deadly than Alaska’s…Deadliest Catch is a bit of overdramatization maybe! ;)

That’s just sick! It’s just like those people who slow to look at accidents on the road, what sick pleasure do you get out of it?
