http://www.ky3.com/content/news/CAUGHT-ON-CAMERA-Viewer-captures-Ride-the-Ducks--488687431.html

Warning video is a bit hard to watch. Both because of the phone camera work and because it goes right up to capsizing

A ride the ducks boat sank in the middle of table Rock lake as nasty storm blows through. Passenger on the showboat Branson Belle caught its final moments before going down. The Belle's crew and Passengers stayed right there and started rescue efforts immediately. Sadly for several they were too late.

They were very aware of it. What you don't see is a second video where you can hear them springing into action to help. Unfortumely those damn ducks are death traps.

I made a topic about this earlier, and man, I'm still kind of shocked. I've taken my niece and nephew on it a few times (that exact one, too, I live like an hour from Branson). My family was thinking about riding it just last Saturday when we were down there. This hits really close to home for me.

I live in Marshfield (20~ minutes outside of Springfield). I was watching local TV and they cut in to talk about how there was an unspecific boating accident, but there weren't details until a bit later. It's been all over my Facebook feed and stuff all night. Pretty nuts really.

Yeah I take my family once a year to Branson and they always want to ride those expensive boats. Its scary to think about the what if when its right in your face now.

Edit: Deaths range from 1 y/o to 70 y/o.

Smh horrible.

Crazy stuff

97 and 98 my family got season passes to steal your dollar holler...I mean sdc...we got a full set of the mugs from saloon show. Another year me and a couple of my cousins got bored and just rode American plunge over and over. Didn't achieve any records. To do that we would've had to started when the park opened that morning.

Shore was closer. The showboat Branson Belle was still in dinner service. They don't launch until after the dinner and show. Those ducks were trying to get around and get to shore. So far it's 13 dead, 7 injured, now 3 unaccounted for, and 8 who survived with no injuries.

Yeah, me too. I was a kid and the driver even let me drive it when it was in the water.

This is a tragic story.

The Belle wasn't involved, just nearby. It was a DUKW vehicle that sank.

Supposedly, the weather was fine when they took off and then went to shit in a hurry. Which is pretty consistent with how the weather has been in the region the last couple of days.

My brother went to college near there in Springfield, MO so we visited Branson quite a few times. That's really sad--I mean obviously anyone dying in an accident is, but somehow it being just families on vacation makes it even worse.

Search done. Final count is 17 dead, 14 survived.


Goddamn. :(

I kind of expected the final count to be higher than the 11, since there were still some people missing late into the night, but it still really stings to read it.

RIP to all of the victims. Can't even imagine how much heartbreak there is for their loved ones right now, either, especially since there were young children among the dead.

We just moved to town and the weather has been crazy. Either 100 degrees or 70 mph winds and rain. Hope this isn't how it always is

It's not always that volatile, but it does change up a lot.

Look up the radar, that line formed NW of Branson over an hour before the incident. There's no reason that boat should have still been on the lake when it hit.
