There's one video where a Brazilian pizza shop is getting robbed and apparently the cops just started shooting as soon as they rolled up because the plate glass window shatters and one of the robbers collapses on the ground and squirms around all "oh no I've been shot in the spine" for a few seconds before his guts get blown out all over the floor. :shepface:

"A tour boat carrying 31 people sank in a sudden and furious squall on a southwestern Missouri lake Thursday evening, leaving at least 13 people dead -- including children -- and four others missing, officials said.
The Ride the Ducks Branson duck boat capsized and sank on Table Rock Lake near Branson during a storm that "came out of nowhere," said Jim Pattison Jr., president of the business's parent company.
Divers resumed a search for the missing Friday morning, but it "doesn't look very good for survival," Missouri Gov. Mike Parson told CNN's "New Day.""

The bit about "we're not sure if they had time to put on life jackets while sinking" bugs the hell out of me. You're supposed to put the drat things on before you get on the boat. If you aren't a really strong swimmer, you are extra crazy for getting on a small boat without one.

You wear one on any small boat, unless you are a huge fan of drowning. Canoes are at least sometimes positively bouyant and can be used as a less than ideal float after capsizing or swamping - a duck is going to the bottom with or without the passengers and any stowed gear once it takes on water.

It's open-topped though, just jump over the side?

The only way it would be totally enclosed is if the tour operator has added structure to make it that way, which seems like a hella dumb thing to do (at least as far as attracting tourists goes) compared with just having a sunshade or something.

On Friday morning, there were still five people unaccounted for at Table Rock Lake. A witness video shows a Ride The Ducks boat, covered with an overhead roof, proving no match against 3-foot waves and 60 mile-per-hour winds before capsizing. The boat takes on the long and narrow shape of a bus with a canopy that offers seemingly little room for passengers to escape.

“It’s sort of like getting out of an airplane,” Robert Mongeluzzi, a Philadelphia attorney who has brought lawsuits against duck boat operators, told The Star early Friday morning. “This is not an open-sided boat where everybody can just pitch themselves over the side readily.”





quote:

“The problem with canopies is that if you are wearing your life preserver and there is a canopy and the boat capsizes then, the floatation device will take you up in the canopy, pinning you inside the vessel,” Mongeluzzi said. “If you don’t wear your life preserver, then you don’t have the floatation to get to the surface if the boat sinks.

No totally enclosed but the ones here in Philly had roofs added to them, which definitely makes it harder to get out Here's one right before it and a barge collided and killed two people (Pilot of the tug moving the barge went to prison for manslaughter):



The originals just had provisions for a canvas cover to keep out the rain and spray:



They're pretty much deathtraps. Not just for the people riding them, but for other people on the roads, because they have awful sight lines. They have awful sight lines, because they weren't designed as road-going vehicles but rather to land troops and supplies on a contested beach, which is something that's so dangerous that the additional dangers presented by the vehicle itself are negligible. That's not the case when they're driving around in a city carrying a load of tourists.

Duck boat companies have had a string of bad luck -- and fatal accidents. And not just in Philadelphia, where Ride the Ducks International ceased operations Wednesday.

In Seattle, a duck boat collided with a charter bus on Seattle's Aurora Bridge in September 2015, killing five people and injuring many others.

In Boston, a 28-year-old woman was killed in April by a Boston Duck Tours vehicle while riding her scooter in Beacon Hill.

...

In May 2015, a duck boat struck and killed a Texas woman who was crossing the street at 11th and Arch Streets in Philadelphia's Chinatown.

In July 2010, two Hungarian students were killed when a tugboat struck a duck boat on the Delaware River.

...

Ride the Ducks shut down Philadelphia operations "indefinitely" this week, citing soaring insurance costs.

In a statement on its website, the company said: "Due to circumstances outside of our control, including a 330 percent increase in our insurance premiums, continued operations in Philadelphia are not financially feasible."

"Let's assume that we are only talking about the operations in Philadelphia," said Temple University insurance professor R.B. Drennan. "I suspect the liability insurance is what's driving this."

Ride the Ducks Philadelphia has had "huge wrongful-death losses" -- three people killed since 2010, said Drennan, who chairs the risk, insurance and healthcare management department at Temple's Fox School of Business.

"If I am an insurer, and this is one of my customers, do I really want to insure this enterprise? The answer is probably no," he said. 'The insurer's way of telling them, 'Hey, we don't want you as a customer anymore,' is to raise their insurance premium 330 percent."

...

"If there is any question about why their insurance rates have increased, it is because they continue to kill people," Mongeluzzi said. "This history of death goes back decades, starting with Miss Majestic in Arkansas, where 13 drowned in 1999."

I just watched the video and those are completely unlike the Ducks that I rode in at Wisconsin Dells back in the day. As was said, they added what looks to be a fully enclosed top. I would love to know if that's legal because, well, what just happened is pretty drat foreseeable.

This is why aircraft floatation devices are pulled to inflate, and why the cabin crew tells people to not inflate them on touchdown. There's several accidents where a plane made a survivable water landing and some passengers got trapped inside a sinking plane by inflated life vests.

I road aboard a Duck in Boston a few years ago that had an enclosed top. We didn't have any issues until we were driving back to the aquarium where we got on and suddenly there was a screech of tires and a vague thump at the front of the vehicle.





Talking to the passengers up front and listening to the driver and cops on the scene, we pieced together what happened. A guy with only a learner's permit (which he didn't have on him at the time) was driving a friend's car that was much more powerful than he anticipated on a rainy day. When the light at a 4-way intersection turned green he just stomped on the gas, causing him to fishtail on the wet road, sideswipe a taxi (resulting in the taxi driver being put in an ambulance for whiplash), and lodge the front of the car under our Duck.

After about 30 to 45 minutes they had a backup on the way to pick us all up and take us back to the aquarium, resulting in an impromptu extension to the tour as we drove around Bunker Hill and within sight of the USS Constitution. The Duck took absolutely no damage and we barely even felt it due to the mass difference.

Most Ducks don't share much lineage with the old vehicles beyond the basic concept. Here's one from Austin:



Here's the one that sank:



I'd say the bigger problem is that they sailed out in a massive storm that capsized the vehicle. A lot of boats of the same size would have been hosed too.

Video's here:

That's not that major of a storm and plenty of boats that size would have been fine because they're more stable platforms with a higher freeboard and won't roll over and go straight to the bottom in that kind of sea(*). Because they're purpose-built boats.
