        The weather wasn’t to blame. An irresponsible captain is to blame.

        If we were living in times without technology then I could understand a trajic accident but there's just no excuse for this to have happened in my opinion

        To define it as gross negligence is an understatement.

        I'm not sure what charges prosecutors or others will seek if any? But they might seek something less if they know the chances of a conviction is more likely.

        The civil damages will be gargantuan, and rightfully so.

        Yes and seeing them just adds to it but I'm glad they showed us what beautiful lives have been lost due to this what I call a negligent accident.

        This is so messed up. Some say that multiple members of a family shouldn't do things like this together for fear of a tragedy like this. Split up

        still would have been very difficult to get out of that boat...vinyl down on sides...it has a roof....I feel like people in the middle would have had difficulty getting out ... and maybe they are the ones who perished. So very sad.
