Overboard
It has been almost two years since that awful night, December 8, 2006, when hockey legend Bob Gainey got the phone call that told him his daughter, Laura, was missing in the turbulent waters of the Atlantic."
the fifth estate investigated Laura's death and first broadcast its findings on November 28, 2007. In that report, Overboard, the fifth estate told the story of a ship that had sailed too late in the season, was undermanned, and did not follow basic safety rules.
The findings of the fifth estate documentary were confirmed in a report by the Transportation Safety Board on October 30, 2008.
