"I googled for the boat and it doesn't look like it can hold 50 passengers."

I can imagine some greedy type putting in 8 rows of benches seating 3 on either side of an aisle.

Another problem is this craft has a very high center of gravity and if they put glass on the sides, there are certainly some design issues since this would really trap the passengers in were it to roll.

The last thing Lake George area is is GREEDY. IT is a tourist area with great service. They close down for the winter.

If you don't know the area you shouldn't comment as if you do.

We still dont know what did happen and people are jumping to conclusions.

Are we all liberals all of a sudden????

BTW Shoreline Cruises has been operating in the LG area for many many years and nothing else has happened. THey have more then one ship and also rent out small power boats and jetskis to whowever wants to sign the waivers and fork out the money.

This is a freak accident.

"I can imagine some greedy type putting in 8 rows of benches seating 3 on either side of an aisle. The boat pictured is too small for that many passengers. . . I imagine that these tours were not free and I imagine that 50 people paid more than 49. There are greedy people everwhere.<<

I hope some valid information catches up to your imagination. . .and that some facts will soon emerge and speak for themselves re this tragedy.
