Deadliest Catch Features Katmai Sinking

Deadliest Catch season five is ramping up this month, and episode two aired last night. This season seems like it’s going to be one of the more intense ever, especially since it is featuring the sinking of the Katmai. The fishing vessel had film crew on board last October when it sank, killing seven of eleven on board.
Discovery managed to get raw footage of the sinking as well as the Coast Guard rescue efforts. The survivors of the Katmai sinking (including the captain, Henry Blake III) had to hang on for over seventeen hours before finally being rescued. Should be some compelling television, although knowing the tragic outcome of the sinking certainly does temper things.
