Divers recover body after Chignik Lake boating accident January 7th |
The body of one of the two Chignik Lake men killed in a tragic boating accident the day after Christmas has been recovered by divers.
Alaska State Troopers report that the body of Nick Garner, 39, was found Dec. 30, four days after a skiff laden with a snowmachine in its bow hit a large wave and overturned with three men aboard.
A four-person volunteer search team with Alaska Dive, Search, Rescue and Recovery flew in from Anchorage.
Troopers spokesman Austin McDaniel said Monday that divers deployed side-scan sonar to comb the depths of the lake. The sonar device sends bursts of sound into the water, which then bounce off of the ground and other objects. That then reflects back to the sonar unit on the boat, which produces an image.
tipping point, the breaking point for martin? what happened there? you know what? it is a cafeteria incident they routinely do to all the players on team. dolphins quart ryan tannehill said the offensive linemen have pulled that prank on him. a guy comes in and he s late for lunch and they say come over and sit with us. as you go and sit down, everybody gets up and moves from the table and goes elsewhere. this is a routine stunt i was told two weeks prior, jonathan martin was part of the same stunt pulled on nick garner. before that, part of the same stunt pulled on will underneath man. just about everybody had been part of this prank. it was an ongoing joke. unfortunately jonathan wasn t in a playing mood in that instance. doesn t sound very funny though. god, you guys, get a new joke. anyway. it sounds like an episode of mean girls, only in a football locker room. good call there, omar kelly.
