The Houston Chronicle is reporting today that the Coast Guard and rescue divers from the Houston Police Department are still searching for one crewmember of the J.R. Nichols, a 56-foot tugboat that sank befor 10:30 p.m. last night in a Houston Ship Channel accident.
Four workers have been recovered but one is missing.
For the sake of the family of the missing man, we hope the Coast Guard is successful in its efforts.
J.R. Nichols is owned by Kinder Morgan, one of the largest pipeline transportation and energy storage companies in North America. KinderMorgan recently purchased MEGAFLEET, a tug and pushboat company. We have had many calls from employees who worked for MEGAFLEET but were then fired by Kinder Morgan.
We currently represent one such worker who was injured on a tug boat in his case against Kinder Morgan.
We hope Kinder Morgan gets to the bottom of why this accident happened in the Houston Ship Channel so this does not happen again.
