Crewmember's body from J.R. Nichols recovered


Posted on Feb 11, 2010

We are saddened to report that divers have recovered the body of what is believed to be a missing deckhand from the J.R. Nichols, a 54-foot tug owned by Kinder Morgan that sank in the Houston Ship Channel today.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the missing man's family.

The other four crewmembers suffered from hypothermia but have been released from the hospital.

The Coast Guard is investigating the sinking of the J.R. Nichols.  We hope that Kinder Morgan will provide immediate answers to the deceased worker's family and cooperate fully in the Coast Guard investigation.

We are also hopeful that Kinder Morgan will not circle the wagons and begin taking steps to protect itself at the expense of its employees, and in particular, the family of the man who drowned.
