Merinda–Pam Burridge collision

A collision between the private cruiser Merinda and the Sydney HarbourCat Pam Burridge, which occurred on 28 March 2007 near the Sydney Harbour Bridge, claimed the lives of four members of Australia's ice skating elite, and injured two other people.

The skaters were on board the nine-metre motor cruiser Merinda to celebrate the national team's performance at the World Championships in Tokyo the week before.

Fourteen-year-old Morgan Innes, who had won the 2006 Queensland Intermediate Ladies Championship and was placed seventh at the 2006 Australian Championships in the novice ladies division, was killed along with ice skating judges Simone Moore and Alan Blinn, and 45-year-old Sydney man James Engert.

They were on a sightseeing trip on the Merinda when the cabin cruiser collided with the Sydney Ferries Harbour Cat Pam Burridge just before 11 pm.

[2] Innes's body was missing for five days[3] before it was discovered on 2 April by a police dive team 200 metres from the crash site.
