Watch 'Deadliest Catch''s Capt. Keith Colburn rescue Capt. Jake Anderson and crew after they abandoned ship (exclusive)
The season 21 premiere left viewers on a cliffhanger after the "Titan Explorer" crew was forced to abandon ship. Help is on the way to Captain Jake Anderson and his Titan Explorer crew after the Deadliest Catch's season 21 premiere cliffhanger last week. In Entertainment Weekly's exclusive clip from this week's episode, viewers can see Captain Keith Colburn find Jake and his crew in their lifeboat. The fishermen were forced to abandon the Titan after a series of unfortunate events hit the ship. First, an ammonia leak broke out, leading Jake to turn off the engines and pumps to mitigate the risk of a fire — causing the ship to list dangerously. The risk of a chemical fire and/or capsizing led Jake to make the heartbreaking call to abandon ship. Thankfully, Keith and his Wizard were also in far west waters near Adak Island on the hunt for red king crab and close enough to pick them up. Keith is visibly worried in the clip, as it takes his crew several moments to reel in the lifeboat and confirm people are inside and safe. When the crew triumphantly ties the lifeboat off and the zipper opens to cheers, Keith lets out a big whoop before wiping his eyes. Jake's close call sent shockwaves throughout the Dutch Harbor fleet. Speaking with EW, Captain Sig Hansen, who helplessly heard Jake's call over the radio at the time, says that it put him a bit "on edge." "When you hear that a guy's abandoned ship, when you hear a guy's going in the water, it's just heart-wrenching. Because you're alone. If you're not there to help, then you feel helpless with them, and you don't know everything that's happening," he says. Sig adds that as a captain, abandoning ship is the "last thing you want to do," and while the Coast Guard can get to you, the remoteness of where they were fishing means they can't get to you quickly. "They can't get anywhere, anytime. Time is always of the essence, so that's the scary part." Entertainment Weekly While we'll have to wait and see how the aftermath of the frightening experience pans out, Sig is confident in Jake. "I think Jake's got the passion and the drive," says Jake's longtime mentor. "He'll succeed no matter what he does. He's that driven, and that's what it takes. He is a go-getter, and that's what you need to be, I think, with anything in life." Deadliest Catch airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Discovery Channel.
