It looks like that pleasure boat with the people filming wasn’t all that far away. How frustrating to be on that boat watching these poor people sink and nothing can be done to save them. Shame the duck driver did not call for abandon ship. They weren’t in the middle of the ocean. I wonder did they not have the required (or maybe it isn’t I dunno but it should be) life vests?
You would think that life vests were mandatory on all water craft. Also, it states ‘stormy Missouri lake’ and you have to wonder if the boat owners checked for bad weather risks.
Perhaps we are all just getting ‘careless’ - believing that government regulations, cops, coastguard etc., are always close by to save lives and rescue us.
