So there was a boat that ran aground ?


Also, I just confirmed with my own images taken in that same area in Feb of 2008 that those trees were already down and uprooted....

A simple observation here from the press photo:

With the damage that occurred by looking at this boat, would it not make one think the other boat would have damage to both sides of their bow ?

One would think so. And yes, there was another boat mishap that night.

Legislation is not what stops these kinds of accidents...whenever you have idiots on the water, regardless of the laws that are in place, you will have accidents like this that take the lives of innocent people. It's a shame our government can find the time to legislate things like this when they need to be working on a solution to this economy.

I know this has been a dead topic for a couple of years but here is a link to the ongoing trial.

Sorry, didn't realize another thread for the trial had been started. Still amazed at how many people are experts that have none of the facts. This type of behavior is not limited to boating accidents. I beliieve it is the notion that since we read the internet, we are all experts. Phooey, even the experts are not the experts a fair amount of the time. Continued false speculation leads to the creation of false facts that are repeated until people believe that they are actually the real facts. Very sad.
