The Week Ahead: Bay Area Concerts 11/23 - 11/29
A little after 5 a.m. this morning, a man aboard a container ship making its way into the Oakland Outer Harbor fell overboard. Found by the ship's crew and taken to to Pier 35 in San Francisco, the unidentified man was pronounced dead at the scene. He was also found "with no personal flotation device" after plunging some 900 feet from up high. The ship, according to SFGate, is owned by Aries Line Shipping and managed by Evergreen Marine UK Ltd.

"after plunging some 900 feet." I guess it was one of the tall ships, huh?
Heh. Maybe he fell horizontally. A 900 foot tall ship wouldn't fit under the GG bridge.
Oh, man...the graphic...
He didn't fall, he was launched straight up into the air with a catapult.
Isn't the GGB only 200-something feet above the water? To fall 900 feet they must have launched this guy straight up into the air with a catapult.
No, I saw the ship -- grand ship it was -- 81 stories tall -- taller than the Transamerica building downtown.
Tallest submarine in the world -- it submerges to get under the GGB.
"The man fell from the 900-foot container vessel"
Dear editor. Ships are traditionally measured in length, not height.
Okay, okay, enough (myself included). Honest mistake. The poor guy's dead.
