taken also.

Looks like a mess alright. Sealers and fishermen generally have no love
of the Coast Guard when the CG are performing their regulatory duties
and people do love to blame the Government for just about anything; I'm
going to take everything I read about this tragedy with a large grain of
salt. I'll wait for the outcomes of the various investigations, I'm
sure there'll be enough blame to go around.
