17 dead after duck boat capsizes on Table Rock Lake
This is awful. So sad...


NEAR BRANSON, Mo. -- The Stone County Sheriff confirms eight fatalities involved in a duck boat capsizing on Table Rock Lake Thursday.

Emergency crews responded to the incident shortly after 7 p.m. after a severe line of thunderstorms rolled through the area.

Sheriff Doug Rader reports the boat had 31 people on board. He tells KY3 News four of those have been transported to a hospital. Some of the 31 on board include children. Divers are on the scene searching for more possible victims. The sheriff says he does not know how many on the boat are missing. The sheriff is asking for any family missing someone to go to Branson City Hall. It remains a rescue and recovery mission.

I might side with James Hall on this argument.

Not an applicable comparison. Millions if not billions of people drive and/or fly on a regular basis, versus whatever the comparably minuscule number of duck boat riders are. Also, flying a commercial airlines within the USA is literally the safest way to move any distance in the world. You are at a greater risk while walking along an even semi busy road, let alone riding a duck boat.

Why do I get the feeling this is about to become a dick measuring contest? What's the point? Are you trying to prove that your opinion is more valid than someone else's based on your personal experience with duck boats?

After Tuesday "chime in" by Claire (the witch) McCaskill one would have to think that we should all breath easier knowing she is committed to addressing the safety of Duck boats on a federal level.

In response to the former owner who stretched the Duck boats, who had no engineering background, I would say that most modified vehicles on the road were also modified by people with no engineering background. where do you think the Toyota 4Runner, stretch limos, and lift kits come from? Certainly not engineers.

Because the Duck boats didn't have bumpers and the side marker lighting being a few inches from proper (retrofit) doesn't bother me. I dououst not being routed behind the vehicle caused it to sink, hit motorcycles or pedestrians or tour buses.

The biggest question still seems to be: Was the boat told to go into the water or was it a decision made on board?

I really think that the Ntsb will shed some light on this but while it's popular everyone, the "witch" included want to chime in. One got on her broom Tuesday on the Senate floor.

Roy Blunt also put out a statement. Got any nasty names for him?

The problem was the decision to drive
Out on the lake

Now everyone is an armchair expert on duck boats

Sure shitty design but they never should have hit the water that day

Exactly.

Bad decision making was the reason for the tragedy.
