Walter Rabon, Georgia Department of Natural Resources Commissioner, remarked that the investigation into the gangway’s failure is ongoing, emphasizing that it should require minimal maintenance. The collapse, resulting in seven fatalities at Sapelo Island, raises serious questions about the structural integrity of facilities designed to serve large crowds during events.
Ed Grovner, a ferry worker present during the tragedy, recounted the frantic scene when his ferry arrived after the gangway collapse, noting that efforts to assist were hindered by the immediate chaos and dire circumstances, with two people already known to be dead.
