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. http://www.ky3.com/content/news/Emer...488679201.html Last edited by Dartgod; 07-20-2018 at 11:53 AM.. Reason: updated the number of casualties |

I live in Branson about 1.5 miles away from where it took place.
I looked out my window and saw that storm coming in. My first impression was it looked very different from normal storms and was worried about it producing a tornado. From the time I spotted it, and the time it hit, there was about 8-10 minutes. If I had of been out on the water in my boat, I would of headed in immediately. Although the storm came in very quickly, there was time to get off the water. Last edited by redfriday; 07-23-2018 at 12:09 PM.. |
