A too-large catch was behind the sinking of a commercial fishing vessel last year off the coast of Virginia, according to a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report. There were no injuries or fatalities among the crew, but the five people on board the Langley Douglas had to be rescued by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter.
The incident occurred on the morning of September 11, 2017, when the Langley Douglas developed a port list, capsized, and subsequently sank 60 miles east of Cape Charles, Virginia.
