Why was the captain going against the wind? Makes zero sense to me.

because they were close to the dock, and that was the way the wind was blowing. They couldn't run cross wind otherwise they have a much higher risk of capsizing. |

you can see the Belle here, and I bet that parking lot just to the north is where the Ducks launch, you can see a boat ramp through the trees.

Good luck with the insurance rates on those death traps going forward.

The Branson Ducks will be liquidated (sold to Pattinson's brother in law.:D:D) and the insurance company will settle within the policy limitations unless they can prove negligence of the individual who was overseeing the operation or the driver and then they can go for jail time. The Company's owner stated on Nation TV that "the boats should not have been in the water..." stating the experience of the pilot and lack of warning for the storm cell that caused the boats sinking. |
There's no $$$ to sue
A company in Branson bought this "local chapter" of ducks Maybe insurance pays out? But I doubt this small operation has a ton of coverage |

I believe that is correct. That is the ramp they enter and exit the lake. Looks like when the warning was issued they did head back towards the ramp, but must have been far enough away they didn't make it back before the storm hit. |

Your comment is fair though. But even if you're going to stand around and do nothing (as you put it).......isnt it, at the very least, a little morbid to film people dying in a tragedy? It's not like these people are photojournalists working for Time magazine. Maybe just me.....but I also remember a thread a while back where kids were filming a guy drowning where the theme/comments were similar. |
