One of the most chilling things I heard was a radio conversation involving a gasoline cruiser offshore of Jacksonville Fla. I was in my ride heading up the coast offshore. A man was running the boat from the flybridge and came down into the cabin to find his family unconscious. I don't remember all the details, but I think with ventilation they came to. For an hour I slowed down and just listened. I was too far to be any help.

I also participated in a CO fatality investigation as an engineer. Gasoline genset, poor ventilation and just the exact necessary weather conditions necessary combined. Kept walking by the bunk with vomit still on it.
