Those of us working on the river like to stay up to date on accidents/fatalities because it directly impacts the way we do are jobs and keep people as safe as we can. It's not gossip, and everyone here has a life. I hope your day gets better....
Well said. I think most of us are trying to learn and/or also express sympathy.
