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.

We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
Ergo, religion.
rac·ist
rāsəst/noun
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
If the answer is yes, you are a racist.
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.

I have been called some awful names by people for saying this in the real world, but I don't find a baby's death by accident (or any other reason) any more sad than a miserable 89 year old drunk chain smoking cancer patient with three weeks left to live dying in the same or similar cause. 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.
