spidermike007 68089 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 This is such a tragedy, and it likely could have been prevented, in several ways. Proper maintenance of the boat, a competent ship captain, who makes sure his boat is properly equipped with safety vests, and more. Heads should roll. Top brass needs to be fired and they need to be made to suffer greatly. What will the eventual death toll be? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
