Boat is called the Ethan Allen.
They're plucking people from the water right now.

Gotta be pretty cold water this time of year up there.
Lake is Lake George. Reporter from Fox 23 Albany is talking. Capsized shortly after 3 p.m. Eastern. Caught in wake of another boat. At least 15 fatalities, senior citizens...

Tour Boat Overturns in New York Lake
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. (AP) - A tour boat carrying about 50 people overturned Sunday on a lake in upstate New York, police said.
The 40-foot, glass-enclosed Ethan Allen capsized shortly before 4 p.m. on Lake George about 50 miles north of Albany in the Adirondack Mountains.
The Warren County Sheriff's office confirmed the boat had flipped but could not say if anyone was injured or if there were still people in the water.
The weather was clear, calm and in the 70s Sunday afternoon.
Representatives of Shoreline Cruises, which operates the boat, could not immediately be reached for comment.

Any idea how tired I am of the 'Bush's fault" joke?
Water temp on the Lake is still in the sixties.
