Whose doing the inquiry into this sinking VOSA or MAIB.

Seems ironic that barge owners came to the rescue of the sinking Duckmarine after it wrecked its underside on a discarded tyre.

I'd love to know where the tyre came from.
It just seems strange that since the Leeds-Liverpool canal was extended to include the Pier Head, Albert and Salthouse Docks that such a serious accident should occur.

I'm not blaming the barge owners for the discarded tyre, but it does make you wonder...
