Deadliest Catch Mishap- Oops!!
Never work with children, animals...or crabs! Yesterday's Discovery photo call for the launch of Deadliest Catch went horribly wrong as a tank holding £5,000 worth of giant crabs smashed on the ground.
Since Deadliest Catch premiered on Discovery Channel in 2005, millions of viewers have been captivated by the fleet of crab-fishing boats and their unforgettable captains and crews who risk life and limb, braving treacherous conditions on the high seas. This May the Emmy®-nominated series returns to Discovery, launching with eight brand-new episodes Tuesdays from 6th May.
This year injuries dominate the season, plus there are more pranks and rivalries than ever before as a new boat joins the fleet; the North American is Deadliest Catch’s first “green†fishing vessel and is captained by Erling Skaar, a long standing rival of the legendary Sig Hansen.
The potential dangers become all too clear in the first episode when the Wizard almost doesn't survive heavy seas that rip a hole in the hull before she even makes it to Dutch Harbour.
