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 |

Here's the actual timeline. So now we know that the boat entered the water well after the TS warning was issued and less than 15 minutes before it sank.
I think negligence can be pretty easily proven. Quote:

That company needs to go down in flames. Who was the employee that told them to go into the water first?

Didn't we already know that? I think folks here put that together fairly early on.

The boat didn't look completely enclosed. Why didn't people just swim out and up?

I read somewhere that they released the roof at some time which happens to be where the preserves were attached.

*Kansas City engineers* Time to have a dance-a-thon on a duckboat which is on top of a Waterslide and Waterslide itself will be on top of Kemper Arena.

There was a lot of speculation about this but it was never reported. There was one guy who "thought he saw the duck headed towards the lake shortly before 7" but there was never anything official until this report came out. Not that I could find anyway.

The time to have bailed and abandoned this boat was while still aboard on top water when alarms were sounding. The life vests on window up and into the water. The vests would have saved everyone of them I bet. This storm moved through so fast the waters would have calmed and lightened up. Boaters would have pulled them out IMO. Why the captain didnt get them all in vests and when it looked the only option was to abandon he should have made that call. He will have to live with this the rest of his life.
