Two "presumed dead". This is the lower Detroit River. The cruiser wakes can get crazy but to flip a boat that big? Wow. These are my boating waters. So sad.

Per this article the boat owner and driver is one of the missing. His wife also went missing in the river last year ! Speculation in the article regarding the boat, its speed and a turn it made prior to the accident.

"The 39-foot Nor-Tech Center Console reportedly rolled at about 7:30 p.m. after hitting a wake." The cruiser wakes get brutal and I've launched my 22' Donzi off a couple but haven't flipped. I guess it can happen to the best though. "My Way" crashed off a wake on the St. Lawrence River.

RIP. Another reminder that things can go bad at any moment.
His Wife may have been suffering from depression and took her own life last year one article said.
Man I feel really bad for their 3 kids who now have lost both parents in that river. Very sad. 😪
