    Branson is a huge tourist area anymore and attracts ppl from other countries as well as across this one. Those boats are popular in a lot of resort-with-lake areas. You are right about the life jacket; when you are trapped inside that's not much help. I don't know why the operator took it out when the severe weather was expected. Lawsuit coming, no doubt. Mostly I feel bad for the families who lost their loved ones. Nine from one family alone.

    Not everyone in or from Missouri is a moron.

    Over 700 people have drowned in the Mediterranean so far this year.
    I haven't seen even one of you concerned souls mention it.

    Maybe you didn't know. Now you do.

    Aw- I've embarrassed the sailor fraud. There he was posing about a minor domestic boating disaster and I prodded his ass with far more serious news of a great many deaths- to which he happily contributes.
    Of course, you know all about the horrors of migrant drownings, don't you Popeye. You actively work to prevent it, don't you. Not.
    You're a posing fraud.

    Well then, I am sure you can find some scientific evidence to support that. And also that all those poor souls on that vessel were from Branson. Do not take to long providing that information. Thanks.

Death is what it is. Maybe it is because I have been around it my whole life; maybe it is because I have no uterus; or maybe it is as one person said I clearly have no soul. Don't know.

    It's the death of innocence- that's why it's particularly saddening.
