A survivor of fatal Alaska crab boat tragedy said the crew went from “sleeping to swimming in about 10 minutes” as rough seas and icing threatened to sink their boat.

"I just wish the other guys would have made it," Gribble said in the video, shaking his head and looking down. “I kind of feel bad now that I'm here and they're not. Send some love to their families.” “When I talked to him, he told me the boat was icing and it had a list to it, but he didn’t sound alarmed. He didn’t sound scared,” Smith said. “The boat ices. The boat ices every winter. It’s just something they deal with. I didn’t worry about it.”Others listed as missing were David Lee Cobban, Arthur Ganacias, Brock Rainey and Seth Rousseau-Gano, according to the Coast Guard.
Crabbing boats endure perilous conditions in Alaska waters that have been immortalized in “Deadliest Catch." Workers face dangers like huge waves, harsh weather and massive crab pots that could crush them. Case said steps have been taken aimed at making the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands crab fishery safer, including Coast Guard stability checks for vessels; changes in fisheries management that reduced some operational risk, such as a “race to fish” competitiveness; and increased marine safety training.
