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.

I always thought it would be wise to have on a lifevest before one got on one of those legacy antiquated amphibious vehicles. Those thoughts come from my time in the Army on Mobile Assault Bridges.

I've been on "tourists boats" from time to time over the years and they always tell everyone where the life vests are but don't require anyone to wear them.

I had to google it and they look like something out of a Meatballs movie.

Terrible tragedy though. The video was hard to watch.

That should cause a knee jerk reaction but nothing will change in MO law but the insurance company will force them to be worn from now on. I will be interesting to follow the lawsuits as it may have been an act of nature and not negligence.

That one sure did, literally came up and it was crazy in no time. Neighbors trees down, lots of trees down on the road over to our boat.

It got real in no time. I have a friend that drives one of those duck boats and was glad to see it wasn't him.

A real tragedy for those involved and their families.

The sudden wind shears that appear before storms seems to be more prevalent recently. One hit in IN last month that caused huge amounts of damage and caused 48 hour power outages. The winds struck 20 minutes before forecasted.

Glad your friend was not involved. Have you spoke to him about this?

I have not, we really aren't in touch much this last year since I moved on from the rehab class we were in and I am sure he is devastated. I doubt if he wants anyone bringing it up and asking him questions right now.

I truly believe the winds here at my house were well above 60mph, maybe closer to 70. I have a lot of trees and am sure glad I keep them trimmed up.
