12 Die in Queen Mary 2 Gangway Collapse
The Associated Press
A gangway connecting the Queen Mary 2 to a dock collapsed Saturday as dozens of people were crossing it to visit what will be the world's largest passenger ship. At least 12 people were killed and 32 injured, fire officials said.
The victims were family members of workers on the 21-story-tall ocean liner, which is dry docked at this Atlantic coastal shipyard for finishing touches before its maiden voyage, planned for January.
The relatives had been given permission to tour the ship Saturday. They crowded on to the access gangway connecting the dock to the ship when the structure collapsed, said Herve Malherbe, chief aid at the Loire-Atlantic prefecture. It was not immediately known how high up the gangway was.
