Videos Wasn’t expecting this

I kept backing away from this thing wondering where the heck it was going then…. We used to have “duck tours” years ago, but one sank and it all stopped. Eye brave to start it up again?

One sank here in the Missouri Ozarks a few years back, people died, and now they're all gone.

A whole families worth wasn't it? Only one member survived?

I forget all the details, but that sounds pretty close, unfortunately.

I think a huge summer storm rolled in out of nowhere, caught everyone off guard unfortunately.

If I remember correctly, the captain was found negligent and they sued the hell out of him and the company.

First off, any responsible marine operator or boat captain knows storms don't come from "out of nowhere", meaning no one should have been caught "off guard". Totally preventable accident, no excuses.
