I have two tell ya, there was not a lot I could do when we got there but there were two friends of ours who did not think twice about diving in and rescuing those people knowing that there was a boat running circles on its own. Those guys are the real heros.

How'd it go from running circles to the mostly submerged nose up?

The rule of thumb is that everything happens in "threes".... lets hope this is it!!!!!

One of the sides were busted out. Not exactly sure how that happend. There was not anything floating that it could of hit and the water was about 60 feet deep.

Here is another Fountian that went down at Lake Travis this past weekend. Two of the passengers were airlifted teo the hospital. The boat flipped 1.5 times before sinking. When we got there it was right side up running in circles. (NO LANYARD:mad: :mad: ) Liquid Asset and a couple others were able to get there in time to pull the people from the water.
flipped , as in end-over-end?:confused:

Thats what we were told by the guy who actually saw it. The wind was blowing very hard and the water was pretty rough. I was also told that they were going extremly fast.
