I am sure wrongful death attorneys are running each other off the road trying to get to her and other victim's families to file suits. Less than a week gone by and no funerals as yet but the money and greed has already begun. I saw where a account has already been set up to help with funerals expenses. A goal of $500,000 for funerals...sheesh? Sad on top of sad.

This is the hero captain who calmly steered his packed duck boat to shore during the deadly storm that sunk a colleague's vehicle and killed 17 day trippers.
Barry King was skippering one of two Ride The Ducks Branson amphibious boats that were caught in an intense squall Thursday evening on Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri.
The slow-moving vessels were as little as 125 yards apart but while King made it safely to shore, he and his passengers could only look on in horror as his colleague's boat vanished beneath 4ft waves.
Hero captain of second Missouri duck boat which survived storm speaks out | Daily Mail Online
“If I was able to get a life jacket I could have saved my babies. I wasn’t able to do that.”
OMG, that means theyd be floating around like a ragdoll in the water with no engine, but those people were trapped in a plastic body bag! HorrendousIt gets worse...the exhausts are on the front of these boats which means if your exhaust takes on water, your engine seizes up. They need to ban them.

National Transport Safety Board member Earl Weener told reporters they had a lot of questions for the surviving captain, as it was discovered winds were approaching hurricane force when the boat entered the water.
I certainly did not think it was anything like that what an ###
When it got to the bottom (on its wheels) it rolled some distance
Divers just coming out of the water minutes ago. Don't know what it means but the blue floating things are not there anymore. It is interesting to watch how the retrieval team works to do this. Just looking at the water ripples I believe they have finished hooking up the cables and it's coming up now.
