There was a boating "accident" this evening. *2 dead, 2 missing and 6 made it to shore in the river near Tracy, CA. *10 people in a 14' aluminum skiff. No life jackets, alcohol may be involved. *Sad. *They were all from Guatemala, and lived in Oakland. *Some were relatives. *The paper referred to the driver as the "Capt." Clueless. *The driver is in jail on manslaughter charges and $400k bail. *Hard to put the blame on him in my estimation. *They were all adults and should have some responsibility for their own wellbeing. What kind of stupid talk is that? I bet a number of those people were never out in a small aluminum boat before. *Do you expect them to know the load ratings for that boat? It's the owner, or captain, who is responsible for the welfare of his crew and guests. You gotta quit sippin' before noon. Even as a kid I knew that even 5 people in a 14 foot boat was too many. BTW: *Don't stoop to the level of some members here with the insults.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I agree! All that Harry does is insult and call people names. Are you in denial? Take a look at your posts here. |
