 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

 FG Considers Ban on 60,000-Litre Tanker Trucks Amid Rising Fatalities


The Federal Government is considering banning 60,000-litre capacity tanker trucks, capping them at 45,000 litres, due to rising tanker-related accidents, which have caused 486 deaths in under three years.


NMDPRA Chief Executive, Engr. Farouk Ahmed, revealed that in:

2025, five accidents led to 121 deaths, 79 injuries.

2024, 11 incidents caused 341 deaths, 124 injuries.

2023, two accidents resulted in 24 deaths, 5 injuries.


To enhance safety, the government has implemented driver training, anti-spill safety valves, and safe-to-load protocols.


However, NARTO opposes the ban, arguing it could jeopardize N300bn investments, as 2,000 such trucks are currently in operation, each costing N150m. NUPENG also stressed the need for driver health checks and better road conditions.


Stakeholder discussions on the proposal are ongoing.
