"Then the awning drowned everyone when they couldn’t overpower the bouyancy of their jackets to get out from under it."
Unfortunately, I heard reports that, no one had life jackets on.
- duxup 8y agoSo many bad choices.
- jrs235 8y agoI heard from reports that the tour employees pointed to them and said they wouldn't be needed. Then when water started coming on board, reports said, some people stood up (possibly to get the life jackets) but the employees told everyone to stay sitting.
- duxup 8y agoI'm going go all internet badass here and say I hope that I'd be strong enough to have have some harsh words and it would take some physical interaction for me not to get to those jackets.... I've been on the water enough to know how quick stuff can go bad and there's no time to get flotation devices out (not enough) to save most folks after it goes bad.
- jessaustin 8y agoIt's fine to imagine being badass, but remember that families with children and elderly people rode these things. At my most badass I could cut my way through the deathcanopy with my trusty pocketknife and maybe pull one small child to safety before the whole thing went to the bottom. What if there were three children and two old folks sitting near me? What a nightmare! Tour boats operated for the amusement of the general public must not sink quickly, even in choppy water.
- duxup 8y agoInternet badass here again... if I'm there with my kids, that's why I'm being a badass. I'm not sitting in an unstable boat in a storm and not having a jacket on my family...
