Three Crew Killed on MONARCH ON THE SEAS

 

September 2: Three crew members were reported tragically killed on board Royal Caribbean's MONARCH OF THE SEAS in the Port of Los Angeles by toxic sewer gas today. The three crew were replacing a section of waste pipe on the ship that had just returned from a cruise. Nineteen other crew members were examined for exposure. Passengers disembarking from the vessel were not affected. The gas was identified as hydrogen sulfide, which occurs in sewage, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The Coast Guard said the repair crew could have worn special masks though they usually are not required for such operations.
