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.

Mind boggling that they would load up the Duck after Storm warnings went out.

Lawsuit has dropped...

Lawsuit: Duck boat company ‘chose to value profits’ over safety of its passengers

Not quite two weeks after a duck boat sank during a storm and killed 17 on Table Rock Lake near Branson, Mo., a lawsuit filed in federal court alleges that the companies involved in the incident knew the boats were unsafe, knew bad weather was ahead and put profits ahead of safety.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of families of several victims in the July 19 disaster, accuses Ripley Entertainment, Ride The Ducks of Branson, Herschend Family Entertainment and other defendants of negligence, wrongful death and product liability.

A duck boat carrying 29 passengers and two Ride the Ducks employees took to the waters of Table Rock Lake on July 19 with a severe storm approaching. The storm hit the lake and battered the boat before sinking, drowning 17 of its passengers.

The lawsuit says years of warnings about the safety hazards posed by the duck boats, many of them reconstructed World War II-era vehicles that travel on land and water, were not heeded by the companies involved in the Ride The Ducks enterprise.

The lawsuit cites several prior incidents involving duck boats, recommendations the National Transportation Safety Board made to improve duck boat safety and documents by Ride The Ducks officials showing the company’s alleged reluctance to accept the NTSB’s suggestions.

Since the May 1, 1999, sinking of Miss Majestic on Lake Hamilton, Ark., that killed 13 passengers, the NTSB has urged safety upgrades on duck boats. But The Star has found that Congress and the U.S. Coast Guard have been slow to act.

In 2000, the NTSB suggested that duck boats adopt a backup buoyancy system to keep the boats from sinking; the Miss Majestic boat took up to one minute to sink after taking on water in 1999.

The lawsuit produces a letter from former Ride The Ducks president Robert McDowell responding to the NTSB’s recommendation, saying “it will require considerable feasibility, evaluation and thus expense.”

Price tag I have seen is $100 Million, and that is just the family that lost 9. I am sure there will be more to follow. The company that filed the lawsuit has won every other lawsuit against "The Ducks".

Eh, that kind of stuff is largely meaningless. They just need a huge number to start with. They'll get somewhere between that and zero, but it really could be anywhere in that range.

Yep. Whatever the number ends up being it will cause the number of duck boats from them to be zero.

I am surprised it only started at $100M, I was thinking at least $150M

Wonder what the insurance rates for duck boats will be when this is all said and done?

Looks like the three daughters of the elderly couple are suing the Franchisor (Ride the Ducks), the franchisee (Ripley Entertainment), the captain, and the co-captain. Considering that the co-captain is deceased, anything from him would come out of his estate.

So there is only 2 in the food chain...Does Herschend Family Entertainment ( previous owner?) still have a ownership stake or are they dangling fruit?
