Tragic loss. WW2 "DUCK" boat gets caught in a storm on a lake in the US, flounders in conditions, and capsizes with about 31 on board during a lake tour.

The tour company owner was interviewed on CBS News and apparently they knew storms were in the area, but as someone mentioned they can come in quickly. He also said they had life jackets on board but the law does not require them to be worn. I understand the captain survived but the driver did not. They looked very enclosed so I dread the think of the panic in people trying to get out. I’m sure the captain was having a tough decision between calling abondon ship vs trying to make it back and a very thorough investigation will be forthcoming.
