La Jolla seal advocates win at hearing
And... very interesting that Councilwoman Emerald thinks of seals as part of San Diego's "citizenry". EXACTLY the kind of mischaracterization and exaggerated claims that have defined the pro-closure group.— February 25, 2014 10:10 p.m.
La Jolla seal advocates win at hearing
C'mon, Reader. Your picture in the article is of a SEA LION, not a Seal.— February 25, 2014 10:03 p.m.
Why the Yukon will continue to kill divers
Late to the conversation, but: The author makes three (actually more) GLARING errors in this strangely-worded article: 1) He says the very bottom (where the Yukon lies) is "130 feet" of depth. FAIL. The sand at the Yukon is 100 feet (+/- for tides). To get to 130', one would have to dig a hole in the sand ~30 feet deep. Too, the author claims 130' is a "technical" depth. FAIL again. 130' is the maximum limit of what is regarded by the major certifying agencies as Recreational depth. NOT a "technical" depth. 2) Author erroneously states Jackson "seems" to have become disoriented and died inside the Yukon. Medical Examiner's report states she (and her partner) were tumbled on the OUTSIDE of the wreck, separated in the low-vis water, and that Jackson had a head injury consistent with striking the hull of the ship or her partner's tank and likely lost consciousness (and expired). None of which happened on the inside of the ship. 3) Author asserts the "death count' is now five for the Yukon. FAIL. Only one person has ever died inside the Yukon. Steve Donathan, a tech instructor, purposefully entered a forbidden (unsafe) area of the ship and paid for it with his life. That's the only person to die inside the Yukon. The author referring to the Yukon as a "deadly tourist site" is like me referring to Iron Mountain or Cowles mountain as a "deadly tourist site for hikers" (people have died on those trails)... or to Big Bear as a "deadly tourist site for skiers"... or, more saliently for us San Diegans, to Mission Bay as a "deadly tourist site for swimmers". Sensationalistic dreck. I don't know what Cracker Jacks box the author got his diver certification from, but he needs to give it back. There were many problems with Jackson's dive that day, but none of them were caused by a "killer ship". Geezus. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/s…— September 10, 2013 10:20 a.m.
