I te 23 o Poutū-te-rangi, 2008, i te hī ika te Alaska Ranger i te Moana Bering i tōna toremitanga. Tokorima o ngā kaimahi 47 o te Ranger i mate. Inaianei, 10 tau i muri i te toremitanga o te SeattleHe kaipuke hī ika kei te wheketere, kua whakaae tetahi o ngā morehu ki te "whakawhāiti" i tana whakaaturanga mō te take i totohu ai. E rua ngā rā i mua i te aituā, kāore a Rodney Lundy, te kaiāwhina miihini me te kaiwhakaatu matua, i kaha ki te kati i te putanga hau i te taha matau o te kaipuke. E ai ki a ia ko tana korenga i hiri i te putanga hau te take i waipuke ai te rūma miihini me te totohu o te kaipuke. E rua ngā wā i whakaatu a Lundy i tana whakaaturanga i raro i te oati i mua i te Kaitiaki Tai me te Poari Haumaru Waka ā-Motu (NTSB) i te tau 2008, engari e kī ana ia i noho puku ia mō ngā raruraru i pā ki a ia i tana ngana ki te kati i te putanga hau i runga i te tono a ngā āpiha mai i te Kamupene Hī Ika o Alaska. I te huritau 10 o te totohu, whai muri i te tekau tau o te hara me te pouri, ka whakatau a Lundy ki te whakapuaki i te pono mō ngā mea i tupu i te Moana Bering.
