15 people on board. Yes, obviously a rental. They were probably all looking at a dolphin on one side. It takes a lot to flip a pontoon boat. Thank God there are more good Samaritans on the water than on the roads.
1:36 From the picture I saw it looked like they were in the inlet heading for the ocean. I'm not a boater but a pontoon in the ocean doesn't sound like a good thing.
There were 15 on this pontoon that was fitted for 16 people. So they were in the limits. The inlet is not a good place for a pontoon!, too choppy most of the time and other boats move quickly and leave large wakes! Really hard to flip a pontoon, must of been a group of errors!
How do you turn over a pontoon boat ? Did they get sideways into a wave ? Even then WTH ?
ReplyDeleteMaybe one pontoon go a hole and filled with water
DeleteI watched it unfold.very strong and quick work to all the rescuers involved.

ReplyDelete15 people on a pontoon boat? That explains everything. They were over capacity for that boat and should have never been allowed to leave the dock.
