Ten people on an 8 foot boat? Overloaded and only TWO life preservers. Not too smart.

So unfortunate for those that perished. It doesn't look good for the missing three.

Also, KRLD-1080 AM said there WAS a problem with the 911 telephone system....

I can't see how you could get ten people in an eight foot boat. Years ago I built an eight foot square ended boat for a friend. The two of us was more than the boat should have had in it. I'm surprised their boat floated long enough to get them out in the lake. Maybe the report is wrong.

An 8-foot boat with 10 passengers, some of them children, out on a lake at 3:30 in the morning?

Mr. Darwin is always willing to accept applicants who are really persistent.
