Body camera video from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office of nine people being rescued from a capsizing boat. Location: Destin, Okaloosa County, Florida, United States Date: May 22, 2020 (Friday) Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office: The OCSO Marine Unit along with Destin Beach Safety and waverunners from the Destin Fire Department responded to call of a sinking boat in Destin East Pass on May 22, 2020. The boat with nine on board was being towed away from US Army Corps of Engineers dredge equipment by a construction vessel. Strong outgoing current in three foot seas caused the line to break during the tow. The vessel began to drift back into the dredge equipment where it rolled and was pinned against the piping before submerging. Several occupants were caught under the boat as it rolled, while others were pinned against the piping. Other individuals were pulled underwater by the current where they resurfaced on the other side. Destin Fire Department and Beach Safety waverunners arrived and were instrumental in helping facilitate this rescue. Ultimately three child and three adults were pulled from the water and secured safety on the OCSO Ambar. Others were able to climb on the dredge equipment and were removed by the waverunners. Two adults were treated for lacerations and submersion. THANKFULLY ALL HAD DONNED LIFE JACKETS! The U.S. Coast Guard, along with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, (which is conducting the investigation into the incident), were also on scene to assist. The video is taken from the body camera of OCSO Marine Unit Sgt. Brian Parkton.
