Duck Boat Lawsuit
by Bob Walsh
A lawsuit has been filed asking $100 million on behalf of two of the 17 drowning victims. The filing names Ripley Entertainment Inc, Ride The Ducks Inc and Amphibious Vehicle Manufacturing in the suit. The weather service put out a severe weather warning about 30 minutes BEFORE the boat hit the water near Branson, MO.
I don't know if the vehicle manufacturer is one who originally made the vessel (presumably for the military) or someone who modified the boat for excursion use. In military configuration they are open topped. In excursion mode they are enclosed and have limited egress.
Somebody is going to loose a ton of money on this. With justification.
