How could this happen on a calm lake? No waves or wind action at all. Does
anyone have the details?

Initial reports say it was hit by the wake of a larger tour boat. If
this turns out to be true, look for the operator of that larger boat to

I heard about this on the morning news and a big deal was made over no
"criminal" violation..... I read that as "here comes one hell of a
civil lawsuit."

Here's a little more current information:
