I watched the live video of them pulling it out today and there were no windows. WTF?

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.

I suppose. I did think that one of the onboard videos showed windows, so it was curious. Also the number of bright orange floaty things still in the vessel.

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.

A survivor said after it was under water for a minute the captain released the canopy.

I did not know it could be released in case the duck went under. I guess that if you didn't grab a vest before it happened.... |

Why are they still using WWII technology? Why not design a safer Duck Boat that's more in tune with this century?

$30 a ticket X 29 passengers = why they didn’t call them back in.

I cannot even fathom a person risking the lives of 30 people for $870. I have to ask if the driver and "captain" we're up to date on the weather (did they know of 60 mph winds coming in front of the storm. It may be months or years before anything is public as it I were the captain's lawyer I would cut his tongue out to keep him from speaking. The same for the Manager of the overall operation who should have made the call to turn the Ducks around. |
