The dock's gangway collapsed during a community celebration, resulting in at least seven fatalities and numerous injuries as rescuers continue to search the water.
Tyler Jones from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources emphasized the ongoing search efforts, stating, "We are continuing to search the water for individuals," highlighting the seriousness of the incident.
The cultural celebration on Sapelo Island gathered the community to celebrate their Gullah-Geechee heritage, but tragically turned into a scene of disaster when the gangway gave way.
Amid the tragedy, the drowning of a chaplain for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources underscores the impact of the incident on the community and emergency responders.
