Transcript

00:00I'd like to have the police attend, please.

00:15There's somebody at my front gate,

00:17and he has just jumped over the railings and onto the wall,

00:21ringing the door, but I don't know who it is.

00:23But they've said they require help.

00:26We're on the phone to the police.

00:30They're saying that there's somebody in the harbour.

00:33They're in the harbour right now, and they need help.

00:35That's what they're saying.

00:36Somebody in the harbour, like in the water?

00:38Yeah.

00:40And are they in the water, or are they in a boat in the water?

00:44No, they are in the water.

00:45And they've said it's been about an hour.

00:49They've been in the water for an hour?

00:50Yeah.

00:52Because they haven't called anyone.

00:54There was no radio on the boat, and they've got no phones.

00:57The boat's cut out.

01:00The engine's cut out.

01:01They've had to puddle the boat in with awed.

01:05Can someone ring coast guard for me?

01:07We've got a high charge of the car in.

01:12We're treating this as a high-risk missing person investigation.

01:19We think the collision has happened somewhere around here.

01:21The skipper needs to explain how he's hit that.

01:25Sir, none of this is delaying our help to you.

01:27And the main concern at the moment is the person in the water,

01:29to see the temperature.

01:31We've got a grade one incident,

01:32which is officers coming and lights and sirens.

01:34We're also calling coast guard as we speak.

01:37My colleague sat next to me is ringing for the coast guard, OK?

01:39None of this is delaying anything.

01:41We need to see how much information is possible.

01:43The person has actually fallen overboard in the water.

01:46He's fallen overboard in the water.

01:47So is he in the water or is he out of the water?

01:50In the water.

01:51Manslaughter, roast negligence, manslaughter,

01:54and murder has to be considered.

01:56I don't know.

02:26It's murder BTS. We've got a vessel in Bramble Wall. 10, 20 minutes ago, reported some kind of oil leak.

02:47Pollution from the vessel. Is there anything leaked out?

02:50We're having a bit of Latin translation communication issues.

02:54You can't quantify how much has gone into the water.

02:59Okay.

03:00One of our managers is speaking to the agents to see exactly what's going on.

03:10Seems like they're expecting us.

03:17Okay, we'll just move around.

03:25We have to see, you know, what they discovered.

03:27Okay.

03:36Chief officer, yeah? This site was leaking. What site?

03:39Starbuck site.

03:40Ah, yesterday it's a Starbuck site.

03:42We can see some traces of oil in the water as well.

03:45Good morning, Captain.

03:50My name is Zia Ulhaq.

03:55I'm MCA, Postal Control Inspector.

03:58We are here because of the report we received yesterday of the oil spill from the vessel.

04:03When we received such reports, we have to take action.

04:15When you had this situation, this spill, did you inform the VTS immediately?

04:20All right.

04:21Check forward.

04:29My objective will be to make sure the vessel is safe when this vessel departs from this port.

04:34We will be asking you to demonstrate some of your equipment operation, such as your emergency generator.

04:50Now, is there anything else you want to tell me before I start inspection?

05:03Is there any other problem?

05:05Steering pump, number one.

05:07This is actually an emergency pump.

05:09Electro-motor is burned.

05:12So, at the moment you have only one steering pump?

05:14Yeah.

05:15How long ago this happened?

05:16This last wedge.

05:18So, how many days ago?

05:19I think it's seven.

05:22So, you have a serious problem.

05:36You have one steering motor.

05:37You stayed from this last port to here on one steering motor.

05:40You should have stopped the last port.

05:42Get this sorted.

05:43If you have lost your steering motor, it could be a big problem.

05:47It seems like, you know, there are some lack of training in various areas.

05:54I have to follow the normal special procedure now.

05:57Can we do the fire grid?

05:59So, I will go down.

06:02When you hear the alarm, you follow your normal procedure.

06:12What happened?

06:14What's your duty?

06:16So, you already started, yeah?

06:18So.

06:29Police, police.

06:31We have fire in the accommodation area.

06:35We start the investigation.

06:37Where is the fire?

06:39We have fire here.

06:43Did they sell your accommodation?

06:44No, no, no, no.

06:45Ask captain.

06:46How do you know where the fire is?

06:47This is area fire.

06:48What is deck?

06:49What is deck?

06:50What is deck?

06:51What is deck?

06:52What is deck?

06:53Deck 5.

06:54Tell.

06:55You ask him clear.

06:56Captain need to decide where the fire is.

06:57He need to tell me where the fire is.

06:58Nobody seems to know at the moment which deck, which level.

06:59I need permission from.

07:00I'm inside.

07:01I think it's fire, please.

07:02Who is the second person?

07:03Second person, do you use?

07:04Go any back?

07:05No, no, no, no.

07:06No, no, no.

07:07No, no, no.

07:08No, no, no.

07:09No, no, no.

07:10No, no, no.

07:11No, no, no.

07:12No, no, no.

07:13No, no, no, no.

07:14I'm inside for a thing.

07:15I think it's fire, please.

07:16Who is the second person?

07:17Second person, do you use?

07:18Any backup?

07:19No backup?

07:20Where is your radio?

07:21Hmm?

07:22Chief, finish the drill.

07:23Call it off.

07:24No.

07:25No.

07:26No.

07:27No.

07:28No.

07:29No.

07:30No.

07:31No.

07:32No.

07:33No.

07:34No.

07:35No.

07:36No.

07:37No.

07:38No.

07:39No.

07:40No.

07:41No.

07:42No.

07:43No.

07:44No.

07:45No.

07:46No.

07:47No.

07:48No.

07:49No.

07:50No.

07:51No.

07:52No.

07:53No.

07:54No.

07:55No.

07:56No.

07:57No.

07:58No.

07:59No.

08:00No.

08:01No.

08:02No.

08:03No.

08:04No.

08:05No.

08:06No.

08:07No.

08:08No.

08:09No.

08:10No.

08:11No.

08:12No.

08:13No.

08:14The number of lifeboats on scene

08:20Silent Coast Guard, Silent Coast Guard, radio check

08:24You might have come down to a series, nothing found

08:27Rescue 175, this is Silent Coast Guard at A-Fern

08:32We haven't had a visual of the man of sin, it's over

08:44It does appear there may be some degree of negligence involved in this

08:57Come in Mark, take a seat

09:06Thanks for coming in

09:08We've had an incident overnight that I'd like to take you through please

09:12Shortly before 2am, police have been alerted to two males

09:29After a rib they'd been in, they crashed into a buoy in the channel

09:32And thrown them into the water

09:35Worryingly, there is a male still missing

09:38We're treating this as a high risk missing person

09:41Investigation

09:42I think it was apparent to officers talking to the males

09:46That some alcohol had been consumed that evening

09:49And they confirmed that

09:50The driver is a Morgan Smith

09:56Okay

09:56I'm keeping an open mind as to what's happened

09:59But I do have to consider what criminal offences may exist

10:03As we move forward and gather evidence

10:05Manslaughter

10:07Gross negligence manslaughter

10:09And murder has to be considered

10:11My first thought is that

10:14You've got a rib has hit something

10:16And you've got two people by sounds that are ejected

10:19That suggests an element of speed

10:23Obviously evidence will need to establish that

10:26If we just try and plot the journey

10:38Yep

10:39So we've got the yacht club here where they were earlier in the evening

10:42After they've dropped some people off

10:44We believe they travelled along here through the deeper part of the channel

10:48Do we think the collision has happened somewhere around the boys here?

10:52Probably the most likely area around there

10:54And bearing in mind possible breaches of maritime legislation

10:58What sort of speeds are involved around here?

11:02What are people allowed to travel?

11:04In this sort of area it's about 6 knots

11:06And in this sort of area it's 10 knots

11:08The boys that may have been struck

11:11Can we identify them?

11:12Do we know what they are?

11:13So you've got two here

11:14The Hamish is a green starboard hand channel marker

11:16And Diver is what we call a cardinal boy

11:19Which is yellow and black

11:21I think we get a fairly good indication

11:23When we see the rib

11:24From paint transfer

11:26And which one of those

11:27Has had this collision with

11:28We need to get the rib that's been seized examine

11:31That's key now

11:33I'm sorry captain but this is not a good deal

11:46No, very terrible

11:47You approved someone

11:57To go inside the area of fire

12:00Alone

12:01What was his B.A. pressure?

12:04What was his oxygen pressure?

12:06Must be in the pool

12:08No, no, no, no

12:09You tell me

12:09Anybody notice that?

12:11I recorded it

12:12Nobody recorded timing

12:19What time you're going in

12:20Nobody recorded the pressure

12:21Nobody recorded the bridge

12:23If you go out today

12:24If you have a fire

12:25You'd be a real problem, right?

12:28Ship still sinks

12:29Ship still has fires on board

12:31We'll go and see how things look like

12:45Captain, chief

12:50What is this?

12:51It's a dent

12:52It's a big dent

12:53When did this happen?

12:55You remember?

12:56Nobody knows

12:57Emergency staring

13:00Let him find

13:04If this doesn't work

13:06How are you going to stare?

13:08So write it down

13:09Lifeboat

13:10You check the emergency generator now

13:17How many methods of starting this generator do you have?

13:21Two batteries

13:22Where are they?

13:23Two batteries here

13:24So

13:25We can start with one first

13:27And then we can switch it over

13:28Second battery

13:43Okay

13:43So

14:02At the moment

14:03You have one battery operational

14:04Backup battery

14:05Not operational

14:06So why there's no connected?

14:12My friend

14:13Yesterday

14:14I am very busy

14:14About transferring

14:15And what about before

14:16What about before yesterday?

14:18No

14:19What about before yesterday?

14:20How many days passage you had?

14:21Three days passage?

14:22No

14:22Three days

14:23Longer

14:24For that longer period

14:25Yeah

14:26You didn't had

14:27Second set of battery

14:28No

14:28So if you have an issue like this

14:30You can't sail

14:31You had a full passage

14:32With one set of battery

14:34You had a full passage

14:36With one steering motor

14:37Right

14:39I'm just

14:39Working before

14:40Chief

14:41There's no more question about this

14:43Okay

14:43Yes

14:44This is

15:02How are you headcares forever?

15:04I'm on

15:04Ross Cullen beach

15:06And I think

15:07I'm having a stroke

15:08I'm just walking up the beach

15:11Towards the casualty house

15:12Is he conscious ever?

15:16No

15:16He's unconscious at present

15:17He's completely unresponsive

15:20And

15:2075 is his age

15:23Over

15:23Hi

15:27We have a job in the Ross Cullen

15:29Dry job

15:30It's a 75 year old male

15:32Unresponsive

15:33At the time of call

15:34Great reference

15:35Sierra Hotel

15:37273

15:4075

15:41A zero

15:42Not much

15:43He's going to go

15:43I'm in the back

15:44Three hard to pack

15:46Rescue 936 is airborne from Carnarvon

16:02And we have five on board

16:03Two hours

16:04Freezer

16:04Amelance endurance

16:05On route to Ross Cullen

16:07Our time on route

16:09Four minutes

16:10Over

16:10Right

16:12Do you want to see where this is on the map mate?

16:13Yeah

16:13See if we can put it down anyway

16:16If not

16:17On the beach itself

16:18Rescue 936

16:20Are you okay?

16:21Swinna

16:21Mate

16:22Six

16:22Go ahead

16:22There's any details for you

16:24The coast is just on the left hand side

16:26Of the ramp on Ross Cullen beach

16:28He's got a green and white windbreak around him

16:31Are there any other assets on season?

16:43ETAV

16:44Yeah

16:44I'm going to be any time now

16:46Only on the coast guard rescue team is proceeding

16:49ETA five minutes

16:50Initial thoughts hospital wise

16:58Unless there's a stroke involvement

17:00Then we'll reassess

17:01Roger

17:02Landing at the beach is out of the question

17:04See if we can land somewhere in the field to the north of it

17:08Just whether it's accessible to the beach from there

17:12I'm not sure

17:14I'm not sure

17:14Oh that's fair game

17:15If you look at the four o'clock

17:24You've got the field with a little pond in it

17:26Yeah

17:27I could probably access the road and walk down

17:29Yeah

17:30Shall we try that?

17:31Yeah

17:31We don't see

17:32That's the best

17:32Right

17:33Bye

17:33Five

17:35Four

17:36Three

17:37Tails clear

17:37Two

17:38One

17:39Steady

17:40Good on the left

17:41Steady

17:42You've got a fence close ahead there

17:43Near a substruction

17:44Looks like it's relatively flat

17:46You're clear below

17:46Clear to descend

17:47To the ground

17:48And ten

17:48Roger

17:48Letting out

17:49Three

17:49Two

17:50One

17:51Main touch in

17:53It's just on the nose

17:53Nose on

17:54Come on

17:55We're not going over

17:56We're not going over

17:57We're not going away

17:57No

17:59No

17:59We're not going through

18:00We're not going through

18:01We're not going through

18:01There we are

18:02Okay, what happened?

18:03Are you okay?

18:08What happened?

18:22At the moment, we are keep seeing serious problems.

18:33I want to see the rescue board.

18:45If you need to use the rescue board in emergency,

18:48something else, you can't use it.

18:50You put somebody in danger already.

18:52So, when you put this board in the water last time?

19:04I'm exactly going to remember.

19:06Maybe two months, two months.

19:08How often are you required to do this, do you know?

19:14I don't remember.

19:18Okay. Emergency fire pump.

19:22How far are you doing?

19:29It's just a fair chance.

19:39Problem?

19:43Can I have a look on this one?

19:44What's it?

19:45You have water?

19:47Why?

19:49Oh my God.

19:50We have a big problem.

20:08Then we discuss what large of inquiry there might be,

20:11what areas of evidence there is.

20:20OK.

20:24I've been to the inspection of this room.

20:26That's the vessel.

20:28This is secured within the harbour, I take it?

20:32Yep.

20:33And what you'll see in this photograph

20:35is the damage to the bow area.

20:37A really significant amount of damage

20:40with some paint transfer from what would appear to be a yellow buoy.

20:50When you see one of those boys out of the water,

20:54you can see how much is underneath.

20:56These things don't move when you hit them.

21:08When it becomes more significant damage,

21:09it's where you can see the inside of the boat

21:11come all the way through into the bow area there.

21:14To do that is a very high-speed impact.

21:28We then went on to look inside the boat.

21:31Inside the seats were five lifejackets.

21:34That suggests that they won't be worn at the time.

21:37And when we looked at them,

21:39you can see they were all past the service dates.

21:42Flares, I mean, the flares on the...

21:45You know, those are significantly out of date.

21:49Four years.

21:50They weren't used that night.

21:52There's no marine radio.

21:55It's all adding up a bit in terms of the breach of duty of care.

21:59The skipper clearly hasn't been looking at the safety equipment board

22:03and questioning taking that boat out.

22:06This is going to also be explained to the family as to why,

22:16the moment they hit that boy, there wasn't a call for help

22:21and a search and rescue mission launched straight away.

22:24Could have used the flares.

22:26If they'd had a radio, they could have called for help.

22:28Got a few questions to answer there.

22:31Yeah.

22:32Police searching for a man who went missing off the Dorset coast nearly two weeks ago

22:45say a body has been found in the water.

22:4924-year-old David Hall reportedly fell from a boat in Pool Harbour

22:53in the early hours of May the 2nd.

22:56The man recovered from the water hasn't been formally identified,

22:59but police say it's believed to be that of Mr. Hall.

23:17There's a high degree of evidence required in order to establish what's happened.

23:21Hello, Mark. Come with me. We'll go into the office.

23:41Mark, just to explain how things have developed,

23:44I'm now conducting an investigation into what I believe is a manslaughter

23:50and specifically gross negligence manslaughter.

23:53My belief is that the negligence has led to David's death.

24:06I'll just play.

24:09This clip is moving away from Paul Key.

24:12We've indicated David with a yellow arrow

24:15and he would appear to be sitting in the front of the rib facing backwards.

24:23I mean, what I'm seeing there is a boat at speed

24:26and you can tell that by not just the way it's crossing the stream,

24:29but the wake that it's leaving behind,

24:32the way the boat is on what we call the plane where it's out of the water,

24:35normally happens at at least 12, maybe 15 knots.

24:40What was the speed limit at that point when it accelerates?

24:44It varies between six knots and ten knots.

24:48We can say that the collision occurred at a particular time...

24:51Yeah.

24:52..because diver has a sequence of nine flashes...

24:54Yeah.

24:55..and that sequence was interrupted by the impact of the rib.

25:01One, two.

25:10So that's the point of impact.

25:13So he's not even hitting it in a period of darkness?

25:16No.

25:17He's hitting it after there's been at least two flashes.

25:21So, had he been at an appropriate speed,

25:24those first two flashes before the third...

25:26Would have alerted.

25:27..probably would have been a real wake-up call,

25:29but at the speed he's going at,

25:31your gypsy's coming upon you too fast.

25:33Yeah.

25:34Uh, given also if you get alcohol consumption,

25:36your reaction times are gone.

25:38There are many failings that I think Smith has to account for.

25:42Oh, Paul, good to see you.

25:43Good to see you again, Mark.

25:44Welcome on down.

25:45Great.

25:46Great.

25:47Hi Paul, good to see you, good to see you again Mark, welcome on down.

26:15Just to orientate here, if we look in the distance we can see the crane, that's pretty much where

26:19the Yacht Club is and the rib came out of the Yacht Club and came along in front of the

26:24port there.

26:25The rib comes around this side of Stakes Cardinal just over your shoulder there and heads off

26:30down the channel, which is where the rib impacts Diver Cardinal down in the distance.

26:44In the port there's quite a number of CCTV cameras but we've managed to line up one with

26:49Stakes Boy here and it was clear from the CCTV we've got approximately 60 seconds of run time

26:55from Stakes down to Diver.

26:58I calculated Mr. Smith's speed with approximately 30 knots, you know that's at least three times

27:06the speed limit, 30 knots you're doing about 200 metres in about 12 seconds.

27:13Throughout that passage Mr. Smith is choosing, he's making that decision as skipper, he's choosing

27:18to materially exceed that speed limit.

27:30As you come round this corner and you're looking down towards Diver Boy there's a lot of backscatter

27:35and that all creates a really significant challenge for the skipper at that stage.

27:39We're trying to pick up the red and the green flashing lights, we're trying to pick up the

27:43flashing white light of Diver.

27:45It is a bright white light isn't it and operating at a safe speed there is no reason not to see

27:50that, you've just got to slow down and look for it.

27:54That's what training at night gives you which is that appreciation of the challenges.

27:58Mr. Smith's qualifications were really daytime qualifications and he didn't appear to have had any training that

28:06helped him to be safer at night.

28:17The sort of combination of the decision to go, the speed, the lack of navigation and planning,

28:22safety briefs, all of these things together add up to a situation where the duty of care

28:29that the skipper's got for those on the boat is simply not being, you know, not being followed.

28:35To what degree do you think?

28:37In my opinion it fell very far below the standard that should be reasonably expected and that's

28:44directly the reason that sadly the incident arose and David Hall lost his life.

28:50It's an entirely avoidable incident, an entirely avoidable death and that's the real tragedy of it.

28:56Oh my god!

29:12Come here, you have a big problem.

29:20In the biggest oil, oil.

29:25They know about the oil-befilling buckets, the bilge, terrible.

29:34So, honestly, you know, I'm thinking about suspending the inspection.

29:55So, Captain, we came here due to the report of spill, as you know, and we started our inspection.

30:04At the moment, in addition to pollution, we have so many issues, serious issues.

30:09There are over 15 deficiencies, maybe much more than that.

30:14We have to suspend our inspection.

30:17The vessel is detained from now.

30:21You can't move from this port.

30:24I'm very, you know, actually upset.

30:29The vessel should be full of professional people, and it's not good.

30:35We try to make sure your vessel is safe when you leave from this port, and you are well-trained.

30:40Any question?

30:42Thank you, Captain.

30:54Thank you very much.

30:55When we receive any pollution reports, that is very concerning that there may be further issues within the vessel.

31:04Taking decision to detain, it's not a decision we take it very easily.

31:09But this decision is taken to ensure their own safety.

31:14I spent over 21 years at sea myself.

31:19I understand the danger sea possess.

31:22I want everybody to go home safely.

31:35They just said that he felt really faint, and literally within seconds the left-hand side of him just dropped and went unconscious.

31:43When he came back round, how was he then?

31:55He kept going in and out.

31:57He kept going in and out.

31:58There was no response.

31:59All right.

32:08Type two.

32:09Yeah.

32:10I think I just left it too long there, so I felt the shakes coming.

32:12Yeah.

32:13The fact you've been unconscious is the worrying, so we need to have a think of why that's happened.

32:16Is it the diabetes?

32:17Is there something else going on?

32:19Can you squeeze my hand?

32:20Squeeze it harder.

32:21As hard as you can.

32:30Can you put your arms in here for me?

32:32Just hold them there.

32:35You can move your legs.

32:36You've got full control of those.

32:38And this one.

32:40So I've just done a fast test, and that's all right.

32:43What we're going to do is put this on, and we'll have a look at some of your observations.

32:48All right, thank you.

32:49How are you doing?

32:50You all right?

32:51Let's go.

32:52Let's go.

32:53Let's go.

32:57Sat in a chair, was seen to slump to one side, become unconscious, and then came back round.

33:02The more thing is the medical history that's gone with it.

33:04He's had a couple of heart attacks a few years ago.

33:07He's got a potential history of stroke, and he's diabetic type two as well.

33:11I'm just going to give you a check over.

33:12We're going to pop some dots on your chest.

33:14Yeah, right, my thoughts now, there's nothing that's standing out, the potential stroke

33:32elements there, we could take him to Bangor, take him in for a quick consult with them

33:37and then make a decision, if he needs to go on, we can then fly him on to Liverpool.

33:40You need to go to hospital, and we'll try and find out what's going on.

33:44We need to take him over to the aircraft.

33:47Have we got some way of getting him across there?

33:49You can clear that beach totally.

33:50That's the most solid part over there.

33:52Yeah.

33:52You can clear that quite easily.

33:53All right.

33:55936-936-Mobile.

33:57No, it's 5-0, go ahead.

33:59Coast Guard guys are going to move everyone off the beach.

34:02The plan will be to carry the coasting by stretcher to the aircraft if we can.

34:06We're aiming to land on the beach at the far end of it.

34:09Roger, copy that.

34:14We're just going to secure.

34:27Roger.

34:28And we're all secure.

34:29Roger.

34:30Go to the rear left.

34:30You're clear.

34:31Roger.

34:32And lifting.

34:33There's 10 feet.

34:3610.

34:36About 400 again.

34:38Following the coastline.

34:39They said, it might have been a seizure,

35:08but we think it was an acute kidney attack.

35:13Your blood pressures are so low that you have collapsed,

35:17but we didn't lose you.

35:18I remember going like this to try and get up at one point.

35:24And then I said, stay there.

35:25She's okay.

35:26She's okay.

35:28And I looked down and Poppy was laid by the side of her,

35:30the head over her.

35:31She said, she won't move.

35:34I was on a drip for a few days.

35:36Everything gradually came back to normal levels then.

35:39If the helicopter, the coast guard, the 999,

35:46hadn't reacted so quickly, I wouldn't be here now.

35:50You know, you can't compliment somebody enough, can you?

35:54The tidal conditions and everything were close

36:11to what they were on the 2nd of May

36:13at the time of the incident involving David.

36:15Just to represent as accurately as possible

36:26the night-time backdrop.

36:29So this is the police rib leaving Paul Key.

36:32Yeah.

36:33He's heading towards Diver, past Stakes.

36:37And that's the backlighting of Sandbank, isn't it?

36:39Yeah.

36:41If you're sober, your night vision's good.

36:44This speed is an entirely appropriate speed.

36:48You're picking up all the boys.

36:50You're picking up Hamish coming up.

36:51The green light that's pretty much dead ahead now.

36:54Then beyond that, you're now seeing divers.

36:57And this is where, at night,

36:59you've got to be looking all the time for these things.

37:02It's only now you can identify the diver boy there.

37:07And this is at no more than 10 knots.

37:09Yeah.

37:10If you're approaching that at 30 knots,

37:13there just wouldn't have been time.

37:15That reconstruction at night is a very good demonstration

37:19of what it should have looked like.

37:21Now, this is the route that was taken, but in daylight,

37:25and also carried out at a similar sort of speed

37:29at the time of the incident

37:30to represent as accurately as possible

37:33the findings of Paul Glatzel in his expert statement.

37:37They accelerate and get up to speed

37:40as they come round stakes.

37:42There's Diogo.

37:51Yeah.

37:51You look at the daytime

37:59and see how fast those boys come up

38:01and try and think about doing that at night,

38:03and you realise it's just not something you should be doing.

38:06Yeah.

38:06And I think this just goes that little bit more

38:11to showing to not just jury,

38:12but also for judge,

38:13on the level of culpability of Smith.

38:16In my experience,

38:27the key thing for a victim's family

38:28is to get a fair and thorough investigation.

38:32Justice may be one result of that,

38:35but that's for the court to make a decision

38:39as to what will happen.

38:41The evidence in this case is very strong.

39:01He's driving his rib impaired,

39:03taking no account of the conditions,

39:06not adopting a safe speed,

39:08and the outcome of that,

39:11unfortunately, was the tragic death of David.

39:24The failings by Morgan Smith were very significant.

39:29You have to be held to account for it.

39:31It's going to be quite a tricky sentence for the judge.

39:44He's a young man.

39:46I hope there's a sufficient sentence

39:49that it's going to discourage others

39:50from behaving in the way that Morgan Smith did.

39:54When you're working on a case that's had a fatality,

40:07you're always conscious

40:08that there's a great many people

40:09being affected by it,

40:12family and friends.

40:14It's a tragedy for everybody.

40:17This sort of behaviour won't be tolerated

40:20and will be prosecuted.

40:22I hope the sentence Morgan Smith gets

40:28recognises the harm he's done

40:30and ensures David Horne's death isn't in vain.

40:41A boat skipper has been jailed

40:43for causing the death of his passenger

40:45after a collision in Poole Harbour.

40:48Morgan Smith, who's 21,

40:49was given a three-year sentence

40:51for the gross negligence manslaughter

40:53of David Horne.

40:59One of the hardest things

41:00as an investigator

41:01when you're dealing with fatality

41:03is often that a lot of them

41:04are just unnecessary.

41:06If people had done their job,

41:08had been careful in many instances,

41:10it wouldn't happen.

41:11I'm conscious that when we move on

41:15to another case,

41:16that the Horne family

41:18will still be living with this.

41:21And I hope they have managed

41:23to find some form of closure

41:24at some stage.

41:25the Horne family

41:26of the God

41:28of the Holy Spirit

41:42and who does not happen

41:44as we're here

41:45in the same way.

41:46I'm conscious of that

41:47and what you'll be doing

41:48is it's very important

41:49to our friends

41:50and to our friends

41:51and to our people

41:52of the people

41:53who have had been

41:54David was a happy young chap.

42:24He got to a national level in sailing in the UK, and it was always his ambition, once

42:31he'd finished his professional qualifications in accountancy, that he was going to go and

42:35travel and see the world.

42:40David's death had a massive impact on us.

42:44It's an experience that you can't put into words.

42:49One moment he's with us, the next moment he's gone.

42:51This is just such a wrench.

42:56I've never worked full-time since.

43:03Even now, it's difficult to talk about it.

43:09What my wife and I were hoping after what's happened to us was that nobody goes through

43:16the same scenario again.

43:18And this is all because people didn't follow basic safety requirements.

43:24And all we hope is from David's death, people learn that cutting these sort of corners,

43:30the risk's far too high.

43:33Morgan should not have been driving that boat.

43:36If we'd have only made sure everybody had life jackets on, there's a good chance David

43:41may still be with us.

43:43Just looking at the possible transfer and it's pretty cladded.

43:56One of the crew members has suffered an amputation of the leg.

44:01You're not allowed to pee in your snow.

44:03Heading for the dog over the cliff.

44:06Stop, stop.

44:07Come on.

44:08It's freaking out.

44:10Hey!

44:10So what have we got here?

44:11I sent you a video.

44:13It speaks for itself.
