This is very sad and it could have been any of us on those boats.
I have not ridden them in many years but never will again I don't think. I am trying to remember I do not think you wear life jackets while on the ride do you? But I assume they have them onboard somewhere. In those winds it would have been impossible to get them on though I would think.
This give a black eye to the entire Branson area and I would bet it is the end of the Ducks.
Hershend dumped it at the right time I guess.
I was also worried that maybe some of my Branson friens may have been out for a cruise, but fortunatley no bad phone calls
No you dont wear life jackets during ride, Yes they are on vehicle (has to be, it is a federal law).
They had the Plastic window zipped shut on the ride, So I am afraid when it "sank" The only way out was the back door, or the captain to fold down front window.. Bad deal under these conditions..
I dont know that it will give a black eye to Branson? But the Ducks rides will be crippled for sure..
