I heard something on CNN claiming that the passengers were told not to reach for life vests or whatever for some reason. and that they were told to sit still. if that's true, then I think the company is going to be sued into oblivion and maybe some people might go to prison

This is like their first or second water-related accident in like 40 years of operation. They're not shutting down.

Because the boats are canopy'd over the top, so if the thing is sinking and you have a lifejacket on, you can float up and get stuck under the top

if that makes sense

Life vests are required by law to have in MO, but it's not required for them to wear it. Fucking dumb.

This.

Theres basically no getting out of those things if youre stuck in one and you go under, a life jacket would make it worse

Those companies are run by hillbillies with nothing to their names. Probably won't get much from them sadly

Fucking tragic

Especially this part

"In our family, my oldest son is autistic so a lot of things normal families do, we don't always do," she said.
They went on the duck boat because her eldest could be himself on the boat, she said


And the kid died :(

Also

Passengers were told there was a storm coming before they went out on the water, Coleman said. The captain mentioned life jackets before they went onto the lake, she added, but he said, "you won't need them so we didn't grab them."


Why the fuck would the captain say that
