No S**t Sherlock?
It was reported this morning that the dead were kids.
From the NY Post article:
“A nearby boater, Sam Galasso, said: A friend of mine was in my boat and shined a spotlight on them because their boat was getting close to us. Then we saw them take a sharp left and it flipped.”
Thank goodness there were other boats in the area. it could’ve been a lot worse.
None of the passengers was wearing a life jacket, said Barbone.
27 people on a boat that should only hold maybe 12 — all leaning to one side — add a wave and — disaster.
Tragic stupidity. Odds are the “captain” will face charges.
As an afterthought, let’s say the 27 people on board averaged 150lbs, that is two tons of people. Absolute reckless disregard for life in this disaster.
