On December 20 and 22, 1999, a 43-year-old male fisherman (victim no. 1) and a 40-year-old male fisherman (victim no. 2) were fatally injured in two separate incidents when their clothes became entangled in the rotating propulsion shafts of the fishing vessels they were working aboard. Both victims were one of two people aboard each vessel. Victim no. 1 was the vessel Captain and owner and victim no. 2 was the father of the vessel owner. The United States Coast Guard responded to the incidents after emergency assistance calls were placed. The United States Coast Guard determined that both victims' injuries were consistent with entanglement scenarios.
