Glad I wasn't on it.....

How much do you want to be that alcohol, and lots of it, as was the key
factor in this incident?

"It also details how Mineo managed to put two helicopter turbine
engines into the boat, giving it a top speed of more than 165 mph"

I've been on the Hudson River during the annual "River Poker Run"
where these idiots with Eliminators, Fountains and custom made 30/40
footers and they ain't just putt - putting along. Some of those boats
are doing 120/130 easy.

At that speed, anything can happen - in particular when there are two
boats racing to get somewhere in a hurry.

Yep, and they may not have been riding at dangerous speeds if it were not
for the alcohol. I've seen enough of these aholes in action also.
