In New York State, you don't have to wear a life jacket unless you are under 12.

They did have enough life jackets for everyone, but many did not choose to wear them. This boat travels VERY slowly, & no one expected this to happen. I believe the boat rode over a wave from another boat, when it was SLOWLY taking a turn.

I don't have a link to the story, because I heard it on the local tv and radio stations. Maybe I can find a link.

I think it will make national news.

Maybe President Bush will ask Congress to pass a law requiring that everyone must wear a life jacket while aboard a boat.

Wisconsin probably has similar laws for children wearing a life jackets.

This is a tragic story. I'm sure there will more information tomorrow morning about it.
