[@_tyger_jones_]

First person interview... very nice Captain.. it's always good to hear from in person witnesses when tragedy strikes. Much appreciated 👍

[@MinorcanMullet]

He gave a very emotional account.

[@williamlloyd3769]

Thanks for posting interview. RIP victims.

[@kathleenmcdonald6641]

Thank you for sharing. Heros all

[@shawntaber4475]

Thank you Andy. Roy may not think of himself as a hero, but he most definitely is one!

[@atinwoodsman]

Heros, thanks for sharing

[@charleshowell7855]

Sad tragedy ! Prayers for all. My audio always works fine. Thanks for sharing.

[@MinorcanMullet]

Thanks for watching.

[@beth952]

Mr. Roy Boyd is a hero. Thank the dear Lord for all the heroes that saved so many on that terrible day. Bless the victims and their families.

[@beth952]

The baby's name is Zuri. I saw an interview with her parents and lil Zuri was smiling and happy and healthy, thank God. She is only about 4 mos. old.

Thank you Andy and thank you Roy Boyd. It all happened so fast! Super fast thinking. Wow! Retrieve and repeat as rapidly as possible. Not one wasted moment during that rescue. To all who helped anyone, thank you! This is especially moving to me because of growing up in the waters around the area. When you pull someone out of those dark currents, you never forget. The first thing I did after seeing video was to start asking about that baby. I was so relieved when someone watching the news messaged me via that news channel utube that the baby was okay. Andy, if that was you… thank you! Whoever that was, thank you! The only time I ever had to pull someone out, it was a small child and this brought back a lot for me even though it was many decades past. So many precious people and so little help. Rescuers did heroic things that day. Truly heroic! No act was small. Mr. Boyd, you and the others are all heros. All! I cannot stress this enough.

Captain Andy, Mr Roy Boyd and all rescuers are Heroes and so are you Captain Andy for bringing us this interview and digging for The Truth! Yes, as you replied below, this interview is very emotional 😭

[@MarqusW1]

Well done, Captain Andy...humans can be gosh darn terrible to each other, but put them in a situation like this and they'll surprise you pleasantly...thank you to all of the rescuers and may God's perpetual light shine on the souls of the lost...

[@scott8689]

Roy being a good human! they are around!

[@scott8689]

DAMN THAT CLIP PUTS TEARS IN MY EYES

[@davidmiller6010]

Wow, just wow! Sounds like the America I grew up in. Good to hear we've still got the 'can do' spirit alive and well in our homeland. Thanks Roy for being you.

[@ingridseim1379]

In these crazy times it's important to remember that a huge number of seemingly ordinary people around us are heroes under the skin.

[@thekraken4548]

Roy you are a hero. Just like everyone else that sprang into action doing whatever they could to save lives.

[@leepatton1180]

Again no audio I would have really liked to hear this

[@MinorcanMullet]

Your device is set to mono. change it to stereo

[@atinwoodsman]

The audio is fine, it's a YT glitch. Close out YT and reopen

[@JoelMahlman]

​​@@MinorcanMulletI also had audio issues when the interview started. My phone only does mono unless connected to another device. I connected by Bluetooth to my dewalt radio and it sounds fine.

[@MinorcanMullet]

I don't know why the platform is having this problem. I am not doing anything different, but the mono to stereo trick is resolving the issue for most

[@suwannalu4181]

Extraordinary rescues! Many lives saved! RIP victims and prayers for families and survivors 🙏🏼

[@1rembo69]

We The People....saving....We The People

[@stephtraveler7378]

Definitely heroic efforts. Thanks to the quick action of this man and others, people were rescued. The drama is still fresh in his mind, which is why he described it the way he did. Honestly, it was near slack tide, light chop, and light winds. The Noreaster wasn't a factor. Plus it was a sunny day. deaths were people over 70 that had weak swimming skills. The younger and swim capable self rescued. Not so sure a hinged gangplank is designed to be used to hold a large vessel. The boat pilot/captain has some explaining to do.

[@geraldineaherne9763]

Audio garbled Andy. Thanks for sharing.

[@MinorcanMullet]

You device is set to mono. Switch it to stereo.

[@geraldineaherne9763]

@@MinorcanMullet Thanks Andy.

[@fairweatherfishing]

Thanks for the information. You have Reverse polarity on your left and right audio channels.

[@MinorcanMullet]

The only solution we have found is for your device to be switched to stereo. In all cases, the problem was viewers were watching with their devices set to mono.

[@gilbertfagley7837]

Good interview! Sound problems in mono. Switched to stereo, it was fine. Sounds like the stereo is out of sync (echo) so one channel is canceling out the other when you play it mono. ( Right + (Left * -1) = 0 (mono) )

[@3rivers-u4r]

Be nice to actualy hear what is being said when you record an interview. Audio is inaudible

[@MinorcanMullet]

The mono to stereo trick usually helps with audio issues.

[@mikedavis4411]

Sound is garbled and very low. Lots of background noise.

[@MinorcanMullet]

change the audio setting on your device from mono to stereo. That has corrected the issue for everyone else

[@johnpoplawski9053]

You need to redo this so we have audio can't hear anything

[@MinorcanMullet]

Switch your device from mono to Stereo

What is a Gelogichi Festival?

[@MinorcanMullet]

Gullah-Geechee. Try an internet search for the history

@@MinorcanMullet So that's why I couldn't find it! Thank-you for the information...and the video!

No sound

What's something like that's going on no that's the last thing that crosses anybody mine is about racism this is their color or anything like that

[@onewayoneway-th2od]

In your audio is terrible

[@MinorcanMullet]

Your device is set to mono. Switch it to stereo

[@onewayoneway-th2od]

Its definitely tragic. I'm sure they had to have had weight limits. Aluminum struckers don't need much maintenance. I just see an overloaded gangway. Now days it's all about seeing who we can sue and make s little money off of others deaths. Instead it should be common sense you don't overload a walk way. That's like over loading an elevator, just because it can hold 24 doesn't mean it can support theyre mostly over weight asses

[@jerzecandy]

Wow what a vile statement. How would passengers boarding the ferry crossing the gangway know what the weight limits are?
