Sapelo Island gangway inspected in late 2022, department says | Georgia
SUMMARY: The Sapelo Island gangway that collapsed on Saturday, resulting in seven deaths, had been inspected in 2022 and deemed structurally sound, contrary to earlier reports suggesting a 2023 inspection. The Department of Natural Resources clarified that a report dated December 10, 2023, was actually for a 2022 inspection. The gangway had undergone additional inspections post-Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Following the incident, new signs limiting the gangway’s occupancy were installed. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump called for a federal investigation into the tragedy, seeking accountability for the deadly collapse during a Gullah Geechee celebration attended by about 700 visitors.
