Looks/sounds like an offshore powerboat race.

Yea, but none of the choppers came back to help. Im only speaking from the video i saw.

Man here we go again, no matter whos at the wheel, when traveling that speed u get a lot of air packing under the hull and hit a wake, its like a jet plane lift off. thank god everyone survived.

It would make me a little upset if I was the one to flip and then watch everyone blow past me if I was in survival mode. Not trying to piss anyone off but come on guys.

Same thought here.

There are safety boats assigned to areas on both sides of the lake all the way from pilot rock to Havasu Springs. There were plenty of spectator boats and safety boats no need for more boats to stop and get in the way.

That could have been a LOT worse! Glad they're OK.

I watched the video, and I saw boats coming back. It takes a while to get stopped running a buck 40, does it not?

Edit: Spectas beat me to it. Very poor quality and less than 25% of the first video. It doesn't show all the peeps coming back to help.

you would think at least one of the choppers would have stopped to assist and look for people in the water

Is that the second m35 to blow over. I remember the orange one went over 2 years back
