I missed this beofre, did you all catch it?

Re: the Lake George incident:

There were no loose, plastic chairs on the Ethan Allen. All passengers were seated on park bench-type seats, bolted to the deck of the 40-year-old, 40-foot vessel.


There was no fire or explosion as three eyewitnesses reported. The large plume of smoke that rose as the boat capsized was the result of the cold lake water pouring onto the hot inboard diesel that propelled the boat.

The sheriff cautioned that eyewitness accounts can often be inaccurate, including the three witnesses in this case who said they saw fire and heard an explosion.
