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.

The Ducks website is pretty contrite right now:

I know nothing about Ride The Ducks but that makes them sound like good people. They could have just lawyered up and clammed up which is what most companies would have done.

I hate hearing about that Hyatt disaster. That was the day I was born, so I got to hear about it on the local news first thing every year on my birthday. Sharing the day with one of the worst things ever to happen in the city is weird.

Seems weird that ride the ducks wouldn’t have a minimum age or size to ride it. Is there life vest small enough to fit a 1 year old?

Why? It’s not some sort of thrill ride. It’s basically a bus and a boat, and there shouldn’t be any reason for a minimum size/age. I’m not sure if they had life vests for a one year old, but I know they definitely make them.

Who’s Leeta Bigbee? She’s the one who gets the money from that account. The very first interview Tia did from the hospital bed she was asking for funds to help because of all that was lost.

Would you of taken a baby on it? Not judging, just curious what the general consensus would be.

I have a two year old who would love it. Little kids love bus rides and being on a boat. Also, they're on vacation. It's not like they have a babysitter handy to leave the toddler with while the rest of them go. Not sure on pricing, but I would assume the one year old was free as long as they were on a parents lap.

Well take away the 17 that just happened and that leaves 23 since 1999. That's 1.2 deaths per year until now. They're hardly floating death.

One time something happened. Therefore, everything is bad always and forever. Nevermind the morons that took the things out in bad conditions. Used responsibly, duck boats are just fine.

And of those 23, 15 occurred in the water, the others took place on docks or roadways.

If you don't want to go on one, then don't. I know I never will. However, there have probably been more deaths via roller coasters, and it doesn't stop me from hopping on one. More deaths from car accidents, and I still drive.

Oh, and because we're supposed to be grammar Nazis on here, it's "you're" and not "your".

Oh for pity's sake! 40 people have died in 19 years. I guarantee you that more than that have died in skiing accidents, accidental drownings, 4 wheeler accidents or just about anything in that time frame. That is minimal.

Former NTSB Chairman James Hall said Saturday that the boat’s design makes the World War II-era vessels prone to the kind of accidents that led to the Thursday’s sinking. Hall said the amphibious vessel should be banned from such use.

I might side with James Hall on this argument.
