RIP.

But, HERE WE GO AGAIN.

Yates said the cause of the accident was under investigation. The craft was some type of speedboat with three large outboard motors

Why not, SOME TYPE OF FISH BOAT. WTF

Ya, I was bbq'ing at the time I caught it on the news and all I heard was "speed boat flips..."

Either way, a horrible tragedy. :(

Not knocking the absoulte horror of this.

however living near and going to that area often it just seems there might be more to this. That area is very low speed and very calm 98% of the time.

either way god bless and :(
