STONECREST, Ga. (WSAV) - On Sunday, while Vice President Kamala Harris was at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church located in an Atlanta suburb, she addressed the gangway that collapsed Saturday at the Marsh Landing Dock on Sapelo Island.
Gangway collapse “structural failure” officials say
"I will address the tragic incident that happened yesterday at Sapelo Island, when a dock collapsed, during what was to be a joyful celebration of history and culture, and while we are still gathering information, we know that lives were lost and many were injured, and so my heart, as I know for all of us, goes out to those who were impacted,"
Harris said their administration has been in touch with state and local officials to offer any needed support in response to the collapse.
The vice president's visit was to address the faithful and encourage congregants to vote as part of a nationwide campaign push known as SOULS to the POLLS.
