BRANSON, MO. —
At least eight people have been confirmed dead in a duck boat accident on Table Lake in Branson, Missouri, Thursday night just before 7 p.m. (CT), according to Stone County Sheriff Doug Radar
Several people, including three adults and three children, have also been transported to area hospitals, according to local authorities.
Radar said the boat, which capsized after a strong line of thunderstorms moved through the area, had 31 people on board, including children, KY3-TV reported.
Divers are on the scene searching for victims.
Emergency responders have set up a staging area on the lake shore near the Showboat Branson Belle, local media reported, although the Belle was not involved in the accident.

I’ve been up there many times and never liked the look of those boat/trucks with tourists piled in them.

I think Branson would actually be somehow less trashy if it was in Mississippi.

One of those sank in Boston Harbor a few years ago. They're 70 year old WWII surplus.

We rode those when I was young and I remember having to wear a PFD. Don’t think adults did though. Maybe it capsized in deep water?

One went down in Hot Springs in 1999 and killed 11 of 20 on board.
Duck boats kill more people than marijuana.

Why does every link go to the same story?

The deaths in that incident were because they put a canopy over the passenger compartment and people floated up and were trapped against the canopy when the craft floundered. I hope that wasn’t the case this time. Bad way to go.
