  1. <p>In February of 2010, captain of the Cornelia Marie, Phil Harris, passed away as an Alaskan crab fisherman. His death was not related to what most would expect from an Alaskan fisherman. He passed away in a hospital due to poor health,http://www.8liuxing.com/home.php?mod=spacecp&ac=blog&blogid=,scarpe hogan online, but this was surely directly related to his life as a fisherman on the Bering Sea. His daily life was full of high-tension moments,http://www.my122.com/?action-viewcomment-itemid-6166, lack of sleep,http://bbs.twbbj.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1498040, and poor nutrition that eventually lead to his rapidly decline in health. His legacy will carry on as the Cornelia Marie, and through his appearance on the Alaskan crab fishing series series.</p>

    <p>The dangers of being a crab fisherman in Alaska are so great that there is a 0.116% mortality rate every year. This is the highest out of any occupation in the world, and as of 2011,http://www.postyourasian.com, 29 have died in the Bering Sea. Heavy crab pots pose great risks on the decks of the crab fishing ships for the crew, and the instability of the deck when navigating through large waves makes these risks even greater. Crab pots can weigh anywhere from 700 to 900 pounds when they are empty, and it only takes one wrong move by a greenhorn to cause serious problems for himself or his crew.</p>

    <p>Falling overboard is a serious concern for most of the crew aboard these vessels,air max 90 pas cher, and the risks are augmented when the crew is less alert. Fatigue and mal-nourishment occur all too often for these greenhorns and deckhands as they work long hours deep into the night and start at any hour of the day. Sleep is something that greatly contributes to a person’s alertness,http://211.86.128.2/gjjl/Review.asp?NewsID=595,scarpe hogan online, and without it,http://www.0710hao.com/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=9779, the dangers of something going wrong are only magnified.</p>

    <p>Although Phil’s death was unorthodox for a crab fisherman, most die by plummeting into the icy Bering Sea. The Alaskan ocean’s extreme temperatures are unbearable and un-survivable during both the winter and summer months. If someone falls in and is not within a survival suit, they will die with certainty within minutes. The frigid waters first remove the capability for a person to move his or her limbs making it nearly impossible to swim or stay afloat. Quickly after, the person cannot breathe and drowns,http://www.xq0757.com/read.php?tid=1030726, unless the sudden shock of the cold water hasn’t already forced them to gulp in seawater and drown.</p>

    <p>After having seen the TV series Alaskan opelio fishing television show from Discovery,moncler outlet italia, many viewers wonder if being a fisherman on the Bering Sea is truly one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Well,http://bbs.cxhcxh.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=63560,woolrich outlet milano, not only is it one of the most hazardous occupations, it is the number one most dangerous out of any other job in the entire world. The vast and fortuitous bounty offered by Bering Sea is so lucrative and attractive that many risk it all in quest for it. However, the Bering Sea does not relinquish her bounty so easily without great cost.</p>
