Title: 17 dead in harbour tour boat capsize in Missouri
Post by: jdap on July 20, 2018, 08:03:18 PM

Sad news.

Almost hard to believe, but it may happen if the weather suddenly changes during the tour. If the tour is on a lake, as apparently was the case, sudden wind changes may be hard to predict and its consequences may be dramatic.
