Columbia River pilot being picked up from the m.s. Voldendam by the pilot boat Chinook outside the Columbia River Bar off the coast of northern Oregon. 29 September 2007. (D200 stop action)
It went badly one night back in the 90s and the pilot ended up in the water. The two vessels allided and the pilot boat throttle control took the boat away as the pilot jumped. Happy ending: Coast Guard helo from Astoria picked the pilot up in short order.
