‘Deadliest Catch’ Nearly Fatal For Sig Hansen’s Brother, Norman
‘Deadliest Catch’ Nearly Fatal For Sig Hansen’s Brother, Norman
Sig Hansen’s brother Norman Hansen works as the engineer on F/V Northwestern, and in Season 20 of Deadliest Catch, dangerous situations in the Bering Sea bring a reminder that Norman nearly died a few years ago. Discovery Channel fans do see a bit of scripted drama, but the danger is very real.
Sig Hansen Fears The Weather But Accidents Can Happen Dockside
The captain of F/V Northwestern is known to be extremely competitive. However, he also knows that death is seldom far from the crabbing fishermen. Ahead of the new season on the Discovery Channel, he described that his biggest fear is the weather. At the time, he said that it was terrifying because sometimes, a friend fishing close by can’t be rescued.
Deaths happened to people who filmed for the Discovery channel. Todd Kochitin passed away after an 800 lb crab pot hit him. Others who died included Danny Matlock, Josh Paulus, and Blaine Steinmetz when their vessel sank. But, for Sig Hansen, the near-fatal accident of Norman Hansen happened in port.
