## Narrative

Two mechanics were on an airboat at the tailings dam reclaim area pulling a barge that was hooked up to the front of the airboat. The front of the airboat tilted downward and started taking on water too fast to pump out. The water caused the boat to flip over on the right side. The employees managed to climb on top of the left side of the boat that was not submerged.
