Long story short: Four adults and two children in a 16' Bayliner on the
Ohio River at 2AM Saturday in fog run into a barge. One adult and two
children dead.



1. The fact that it was a Bayliner is totally irrelevant to the
tragedy..........the end result would have been the same if it were any
other brand.
2. The parents are absolute idiots and should never have been allowed
give birth and take care of children.
3. The event was indeed tragic......one that could easily have been
prevented.






According to the news story, the boat sank. That is relevant.


Most boats sink when run over by a barge. Whalers won't sink but as they
turn over in multiple pieces, the passengers without PFD's sink. That is
what is relevant.
