The husband of a suburban woman killed while parasailing in the Florida Keys last year is speaking out about the incident for the first time, and filing a second lawsuit.

It was supposed to be a fun family trip to the Florida Keys, and quickly turned into a tragedy.

Thursday morning, the widower of the woman killed in a parasailing incident spoke for the first time about it as the family files a new lawsuit in her death, naming the boat captain, his first mate and a resort marina in the Keys.

"If the people we trusted from the parasailing company and Captain Pip's Marina had done their jobs, my wife would still be with us today," Srinivasrao Alaparthi said.

Supraja Alaparthi, 33, her 10-year-old son and 7-year-old nephew were in a harness, in the air when court documents say the parasail began "pegging," meaning the parasail turned into the high winds and dragged the boat.

Dark clouds moved in, and the family's attorney's said the boat captain took them out in bad weather, then cut the line tethering Alaparthi and the children to the boat.

"The defendants in this case never checked the weather, and they never stopped the boat from leaving the dock that day, despite laws clearly prohibiting parasailing activities when weather like this in the area," said Pedro Echarte, with The Haggard Law Firm. "He did the one thing that you never do in this case. He cut the tow line, and, at that point in time, he lost all control of that parasail."

That's when they slammed into a bridge. Supraja was killed, and the children were injured.

I'll never forget the pure evil of this incident that seemingly could only happen in a movie. I know I think I already posted this a year ago when it happened but now he's doled out two lawsuits one for the Captain and one for the company.

Greedy bastard didn't want to ruin his boat. How terrible it must have been to watch your loved ones slam into a bridge and lose your wife

Why is he not charged with murder?

Is there some precedent for cutting the line with people still on it? This is either some kind of obscure maritime thing or hilariously evil.

If he wanted to protect his boat, then why did he take it out during stormy weather?

Slammed into a bridge. Damn. That's like something out of a horror movie. Horrible.
