No-one had initially realised that Kaylee was missing. | |
She was under the boat for 90 minutes before her disappearance was noticed. | |
Kaylee was one of 34 cadets on the training exercise when her boat overturned. | |
She had been wearing the wrong type of life jacket, which resulted in her being pinned beneath the boat. | |
A fatal accident inquiry into the incident heard evidence over 10 days. | |
Sheriff Alasdair MacFadyen published his findings in 2009, saying that a number of precautions could have been taken which would have avoided the accident or prevented Kaylee's death. |
