James Walsh was on the dock when the boat tipped
A worker on the dock where 33 people were injured when a ship tipped over in high winds has said it was “so scary”.
Speaking to the PA news agency, Mr Walsh, 39, said: “It wasn’t as noisy as you would think, for the catastrophe that it could possibly be. We stopped what we were doing. He added: “It’s scary. Very scary. Just makes you evaluate everything really. No-one goes to work to be involved in any kind of accident.
Port chaplain Pauline Robertson, from the Sailors’ Society, said the incident was “just horrific” and added: “Those that witnessed it, it’s so much to take in. It’s surreal in so many ways and it’s a lot to process.”
