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.

It looks as though the folks had plenty of time to vest up?

Feel bad for the old timer piloting it.

BRANSON, Mo. (AP) — A spokeswoman for Missouri Gov. Mike Parson says nine of the 17 people who died in a duck boat accident are from the same family.

Parson spokeswoman Kelli Jones says Friday that another two members of the same family survived when the boat capsized on Table Rock Lake near the tourist town of Branson. The governor's office had no other information about the family members. Authorities have not yet identified the victims.

The boat capsized Thursday evening when a thunderstorm hit the area and brought winds that approached near-hurricane speeds.

Twenty-nine passengers and two crew members were on the boat when it capsized. The boat's driver was among those killed.

Just saw the 9 members Of one family headline. I cannot imagine. This is why my father-in-law doesn't want all of our family on the same plane.

Well, that's one of the more horrific things I've ready lately. I can't imagine being one of the two who made it.

Yeah screw that. I have been in a small boat in the middle of a lake when a storm rolled in and thought I was going in the drink. I make the girl I was with vest up and I did the same. I managed to get the thing back to shore without sinking it, but I have had a healthy respect for weather/lakes since that incident. I error on the side of caution.

Geez, if that's a recent picture, you wonder if kids or adults survived. If you're a kid, talk about having your life turned upside down in a flash. The double challenge is that your contingent caretakers/guardians may have died as well.

It's crazy because one of their family members is a receptionist at my wife's work. Needless to say no one got any work done today. What do you say to someone who found out half their family tree was wiped out in one day?

Wow. Was that person one of the survivors, or were they not present?

She was not present. It was both of her aunt/uncles and their kids. But it's the worst thing imaginable. Oh my family is in Branson that's crazy I'm sure they are alright what are the odds they are on that specific boat? Wait I can't get a hold of them. Wait were they on the boat? That can't be...

The article says it is an aunt and her nephew who survived. She lost her own kids and husband, so I have to imagine she'll take the nephew in. I can only hope that some combination of life insurance and lawsuit payouts will at least set them up for life.

But still. I mean...

I used to beach the fishing boat on Riss Lake when lightning and high winds hit.

The Ducks have a responsibility to protect their passengers and if they were told of 60 mph winds anywhere near the time window and went into the lake then there is negligence. If the storm, like in the IN stage collapse, hit early and at more than twice the force as forecasted, it may just turn into lawyers missing in the wind.

I have no reservations about taking a duck out on the lake, as I have done many times, but wouldn't consider one anything but a fair weather vessel.
