There is some issues with how the situation was handled, for sure. One of my friends had a house down on Table Rock for 15 years. His neighbor was a duck boat driver. He called him and got details from him about the accident.
One is that they almost always do the mountain first, but the office called them and told them to do the water part first, the boat driver wasn’t sure why.... in general the banks are steep at tabletock, some areas are cliffs. I do Not know what this area is like, I am Sure we will get more info in the coming days. The driver was headed back to the launch area. The neighbor, who I know, said the driver was one of the longer tenured and was really good
So sad, I know If I was On that boat, when the shit got rough, I would Of been handing out life jackets and probably telling people to abandon ship.
I have Been caught on table rock in this exact type of storm, maybe 5 years ago. A couple boats Sank that day. Thank god. No fatalities. When the shit hits the fan, some people freak, and some remain calm. My wife will tell you, I was The calm one, my buddy lost it. He has been boating that lake for 55 years. You just never know how someone will react.
Prayers for all involved
