An outage led to the deadly capsize of an oil vessel near Louisiana
Fox News
'Data gaps' in radar systems and an outage involving a Coast Guard marine warning system both played factors in the deadly capsize of an oil vessel near Louisiana last year.
An NTSB preliminary report had said the Seacor Power had begun to lower its stabilizing legs and was trying to turn to face heavy winds when it flipped in the Gulf of Mexico. Six people were rescued.
The NTSB said in Tuesday's report that the captain of the Seacor Power made a "reasonable" decision to get underway the day of the disaster. But he didn't have sufficient weather information from the lift boat company.
