A tragic structural failure occurred on Sapelo Island, Georgia, when a ferry dock gangway collapsed during a cultural festival, killing at least seven people and leaving several others critically injured. The incident took place during the annual celebration of the Gullah-Geechee community, descendants of enslaved African Americans, with over 40 people on the gangway at the time of collapse and at least 20 falling into the water. Authorities, including the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, are investigating the cause of the collapse, which involved a recently installed aluminum gangway. Rescue operations are ongoing, with several people still missing, and the community is rallying to support those affected. The incident has prompted calls for improved safety regulations in public spaces, as President Biden and Vice President Harris have offered condolences and assured federal support if needed.
