It香蕉视频直播檚 been nearly a month since Ivor Lundin died while captaining Tolko香蕉视频直播檚 boom-boat and his friends and family are still struggling to make sense of their loss.

香蕉视频直播淥f course we still don香蕉视频直播檛 have a lot of answers about what happened, but as far as the recovery went, they just didn香蕉视频直播檛 do enough,香蕉视频直播 said Lundin香蕉视频直播檚 partner, Brenda.

When Ivor香蕉视频直播檚 boat went down late Jan. 30, Brenda said she香蕉视频直播檚 been told nobody went into the water to save him. Those who were at the scene waited until emergency crews showed up.

Then they just lowered a camera into the boat to confirm he was there.

香蕉视频直播淚vor香蕉视频直播檚 body was left in the water until noon the next day and that香蕉视频直播檚 so unbelievable,香蕉视频直播 she said.

香蕉视频直播淗e was close to shore, you could see the roof and lights from there. I香蕉视频直播檝e seen people put in more effort to save dogs from water.香蕉视频直播

Although she admits she香蕉视频直播檚 grief stricken, Brenda said she is raising the issue because Ivor deserved better.

香蕉视频直播淭he whole thing is wrong, I香蕉视频直播檝e never seen anything like this in my life,香蕉视频直播 she said. 香蕉视频直播淚 know it will never bring him back, but they never made enough effort.香蕉视频直播

Ivor, she said, was an amazing guy who was always willing to lend a hand to anybody who needed it.

香蕉视频直播淗e was a humble, strong person,香蕉视频直播 she said. 香蕉视频直播淗e knew every aspect of the mill and all the boats and loved his work on the water.香蕉视频直播

She said the 57-year-old volunteered for the city every year during the fireworks to take the barges out and he was very experienced on the water.

The last person Ivor spoke with was her son.

香蕉视频直播淗e forgot his lunch and said the old boat had taken on some water, so he was going to bail it out,香蕉视频直播 she said. 香蕉视频直播淗e said that was normal. It was always treading water.香蕉视频直播

There are multiple investigations into the sinking.

The Transportation Safety Board and WorkSafe BC are both looking into it.

The TSB said they will have more information in the next week, and are still in the process of assessing the evidence.

WorkSafe BC said they haven香蕉视频直播檛 had a complaint about the Tolko boat in recent years.

In the days after the incident Don Hanson, communications manager at Tolko Industries, said that the mill香蕉视频直播檚 focus is on Lundin香蕉视频直播檚 family and the employees who were suffering from his loss.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 devastating news for Tolko. We take safety very seriously. We are going to work closely with the authorities on the investigation and find out what happened.香蕉视频直播
