Tragic Loss of Life on Lake Erie
http://www.sanduskyregister.com/arti...ont/795327.txt
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: Authorities have not ruled out operator inattention, speed or alcohol as a cause of the accident. They did not believe wind or water conditions played a role. While Steinle was never tested for alcohol in his system, his boat was boarded and inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard minutes before the crash. One of his lights had a problem that was corrected on the spot, Johnston said. Miller's recovered body will undergo toxicology tests. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources in Columbus does not have a record of Miller ever owning a boating education card. The law is that anyone born after Jan. 1, 1982, must complete an education course before operating a watercraft of greater than 10 horsepower. "According to our records, he did not have any completion of any boater safety class that we're aware of," Wisse said. "It doesn't mean he didn't complete something, somewhere, but we don't have a record of it." End quote. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Tragic Loss of Life on Lake Erie
sigh I should have known better than to post something relating to boating here. I wouldn't worry about it too much - there are ignorant people everywhere. I'd like to thank you for posting the note - my brother lives just off Lake Erie on the other side of Cleveland and we've taken our boat up there for several lake runs - always a good time. It just surprises me that people go out running that late at night (approx 12:30 am), presumably above 20mph, with MINIMAL lighting on the boat. I'm sorry that this resulted in a loss of life, but I can't imagine running around in those conditions - even if there was a (near) full moon on Monday. -------------------------- GDSmith Harpers Ferry, WV 2003 Baja 242 Islander http://ICanHelp56.homestead.com/Baja001.html |

I would be surprised if it is determined that alcohol was not involved. |

Tread lightly. He can be a huge asshole. |

I see over at Chuck's that JimH is chastising someone because he has interests "other than boating". He then comes here and whines like a little baby because every single post isn't about boating........ |

I then brought up another fatal accident several years back also involving a cigarette boat hitting another boat at a high rate of speed. He told me that the man who was killed was a docker at his marina. He had just graduated from college with high honors and his parent purchased him the 29 foot boat as a graduation gift. They went out on the boat for the first time when a man from Leamington, Canada plowed his 38 foot boat at 50 mph into the young mans boat. The accident occurred in broad daylight. http://justice.org/homepage/boat1008.aspx http://www-catalog.cpl.org/CLENIX/ACT-4248 |
