They were integral to the search and recovery. A source said that some media houses credited the Coast Guards with finding bodies when in fact the discoveries were made by the police.Initial reports are that one boat carrying passengers was coming out from one location while another laden with fuel was heading in the opposite direction. The incident occurred at a ‘blind turn’ in the vicinity of Crab Falls.Transport Minister Robeson Benn had reported that the two boats, one with 12 passengers and another, collided around 12:30 hours on Tuesday.Several other persons were treated at the Bartica Regional Hospital for injuries. These included 40-year-old Francisca Helena Rodrigues, a Brazilian of Bartica; Marion Ferreira, 19, of Parika; Aubrey Bowen, 29, of Parika; Donita Daniels, 22, of Parika,Wholesale Jerseys China, and Devon Thomas, one of the boat captains. The other boat captain has been identified as Kobesh Persaud.It has since been known that both vessels could have seen each other even before they entered the turn at the Crab Falls. One of the vessels should have yielded.Another shortcoming was the absence of adequate lifejackets. Many of the men were probably macho and refused to wear the vests. At the same time, there were not enough in the boats. These vests could have severely reduced the number of fatalities one of the operators said. |
