Why is the Deadliest Catch called the Deadliest Catch?
The show earned its moniker because the Alaskan crustacean-gathering business is a brutal one. There have been several vessels that have appeared on the program that have ultimately perished. Even more tragic is that, in a lot of these accidents, the crew members don’t make it out alive.
One was empty, while another contained two crew members. After rescuing the duo of surviving fishermen, the coast guard questioned the two men, John Lawler and Dean Gribble Jr. They were able to get into “survival suits” which help to protect against hypothermia, and put themselves into a life raft.
The U.S. Coast Guard caught the boat’s distress signal, but the conditions were devastating. With winds clocking in at 60 miles per hour and almost zero visibility, Coast Guard officers had little to no hope of finding any members of the seven-person crew. Article continues below advertisement.
