Ten Dead After Turkish Navy Tugboat Capsizes at Shipyard

[kellyhound]

A Turkish navy tugboat capsized while docked for repairs at a shipyard on the Aegean coast on Monday, killing 10 people, the military said.

Eight of the dead were military personnel and two were civilian workers, local media said. Seventeen other military personnel were injured.

The tugboat, TCG Degirmendere, was being lowered into the sea after maintenance work at the Izmir shipyard when it suddenly listed to one side, taking on water, the military said in a statement

Hmm. I don't see how that would kill 10 people.

Funny how all those people just appeared on top of tug.

Maybe crushed? You would expect no deaths just because the Navy constantly does safety procedures and crap...right? Not like they capsized in the middle of the ocean after being attacked. Very odd. But...i'm leaning on the victims have been crushed to death...
