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.

If you count all of the World War II casualties aboard Duck Boats, the mortality rate skyrockets.

Yeah, I haven't seen much to suggest that duck boats are inherently dangerous in any of this. As others have mentioned, there are hundreds of these things in use around the world, and incidents are really pretty rare.

The smoking gun is going to come from the statements made, if any from the Capt and the people responsible for ,making the call for entering the lake or canceling service due to inclement weather. This is not the first time a duck boat has been in a thunderstorm just the worst.

If the Duck Boats knew that the storm was preceded by a squall of 60MPH winds and allowed the boats on the water then that person should see jail time. If it was company policy to enter the lake even though they were in the window of a wind advisory and thunderstorm warning then send Pattinson there too.

I'd still like to know how long before the TS warning was issued at 6:30 did the thing enter the water. Other than some guy saying he thinks he saw it heading towards the lake shortly before 7:00, it hasn't been reported.

Sounds like the answer is no for commercial vehicles. However, they should have put them on when "hazardous conditions" existed.

Passengers on commercial boats are not required to wear life jackets. They are required to have enough for everyone but people aren't required to wear them.

If they had 17 ducks they could name one after each.

I want to know what qualifications Ride the Ducks uses to name and give title as Captain to there employees and what the qualifications are to be a driver. Is the Captain just a guy who delivers the spiel on the duck tour. Or is this Captain a real expert in navigating on water and all safety regulations. He obviously made a bad call on not to put on life vests and abandon ship when it took on water.

I have not seen a time but I feel it would have been close. Anyone recall how long the trip takes on water?

CNN

The area around Branson was placed under a severe thunderstorm warning shortly after 6:30 p.m. (7:30 p.m. ET), about half an hour before the boat sank.

Dont you suppose that they were removed and or retracted to aid in rescue the recovery of bodies. I did read everything those divers do is filmed. I dont know if that is like stills or video.
