Reports are there was a DNC whistleblower on board. Add a few more tallies to the Clinton Kill List folks.

(Reuters) - At least eight people drowned when an amphibious “duck boat” capsized and sank in stormy weather on a lake in Missouri with 31 people on board, police said on Thursday, and divers were searching for other possible victims.

Seven people were taken to hospital following the incident on the “Ride the Ducks” amphibious vehicle on Table Rock Lake, near Branson, Missouri, Stone County Sheriff Doug Rader told reporters.

“We have eight confirmed fatalities,” Rader said in a televised media briefing. “We do have some people still missing.”

    Incredibly sad. I’m glad you weighed in quick as to not have to wait to offer an opinion.

    You mean the storm that came out of nowhere 30 minutes after a severe thunderstorm alert was issued and they went out anyway.

    Seems like pretty cut and dry gross negligence.

    I bet there are some pretend lawyers just biting at the champ to sue.

    As they should. Those families can never be made whole, but in way our system works the only justice they can receive is monetary. Some insurance company is going to be writing some big checks, although I wonder how much liability a Duck Boat company has to carry.

    Hey rowboat, I'll do the pretend lawyering around here. Thank you very much.

    Seems like gross negligence in my pretend expert opinion.

    You know it! You are, after all, the limp who coined that phrase.

    I'd be amazed if it was more than a $20million policy. We have national brand contractors that do much higher risk work that don't carry that big of a policy. Then again, who knows for a company that deals with water and on driving policies in one.

    @creepycoug what's the average wrongful death settlement these days? $5 to $10 million-ish? If you have a boat that in theory could sink with 20 souls on board, you'd think they've have to carry a lot more than $20 million. But I'm not a pretend lawyer even though I play one at work sometimes.

    No idea. As I sit here and play securities and SEC for the man, I often wonder: would it be more fun to chase ambulances and fuck with people? And really get paid? Or do this?

    Creep's the kind of guy who always took the relatively safe route. Such is my lot.

    Any insider stock tips are always welcome Creep.

    Good money in chasing them ambulances. BUT you gotta swing for the fences and hit some home runs.
