    I do not know. I highly doubt he is that either.

    That is what happens when there is no or unenforced regulation

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    Yes, and anyone who’s ever been caught on the water in some of the microbursts that occur in our part of the world understands how this could happen. Life jackets are there (I’ve been on these rides) but are hard to get to. Nearly impossible in the case of a roll over. The drivers are also in constant contact with someone monitoring the weather. Again, these storms roll up suddenly. I wasn’t there so I will not speculate on what should have been done?

    Those DUKW were never designed for that kind of weather, though they have certainly performed in worse. They handle seas ok if dead on or directly astern. Anything abeam and they will roll quite easily. The Canopy added ( those were never on military craft) just made it more unstable in those seas and obviously hindered any escape when she flipped.
