Pumping Station Drowning Investigation
Audio tapes and surveillance video obtained by action news show exactly what went wrong the day Coalinga native Martin Alvarado and his co-worker Tim Crawford jumped in to check the trash racks at a Los Banos pumping station. Alvarado's family members say the new revelations are heartbreaking.
Pump five at the Dos Amigos Pumping Station was never shut off the morning Martin Alvarado and his dive partner Tim Crawford dove in February of 2007.

that is unacceptable. there are standards that real commercial divers follow that would not have allowed this to happen. this is just somebody not willing to pay the cost for a real dive team.
