Where were the life-vests?

EXACTY!!!! This is just a nonsense accident. In our day and age, to have that many seniors on a boat WITHOUT every single one WEARING a ZIPPED life vest is INSANE!!!!

I'd be surprised if you've EVER seen life vests worn by anyone on any tour boat.

Maybe they should have been wearing seat belts and helmets too? I wonder if the pilot was smoking?

Maybe we should wait to get more information? Our news agencies including Fox aren't quite up to par on any story. Give them about a month to get to the truth.

It was a pleasure cruise. Life jackets are there but people don't wear them on the ride. Like the Maid of the Mist under Niagara Falls.

Nagin would have had them all tucked in safely in their life vests, even on a lazy warm fall day.

No. That's silly. Passenger ferries and tour boats, cruise boats and the like will simply never require their passengers to wear life vests. Nor should they. It is simply wildly impractical.
