'Duck boat' design flaw flagged years ago

Have you bothered to watch the video of that storm? It was pretty freaking intense on the water. Yes it had a design flaw in the propulsion system, but any small craft would have struggled in those intense waters they found themselves in.

Yes, and anyone who’s ever been caught on the water in some of the microbursts that occur in our part of the world understands how this could happen. Life jackets are there (I’ve been on these rides) but are hard to get to. Nearly impossible in the case of a roll over. The drivers are also in constant contact with someone monitoring the weather. Again, these storms roll up suddenly. I wasn’t there so I will not speculate on what should have been done?

Those DUKW were never designed for that kind of weather, though they have certainly performed in worse. They handle seas ok if dead on or directly astern. Anything abeam and they will roll quite easily. The Canopy added ( those were never on military craft) just made it more unstable in those seas and obviously hindered any escape when she flipped.
 
What about ' extremely highly doubt ' you lemming numbskull. Haw, haw.....haw.

Hey- tie us a sheepshank.

You can always tell when you are losing again Goon. You just your own brand of psychobabble. Must be some sort of mental "defense" mechanism for you. Hate to tell you, it does not work.
 
I don't go on any watercraft without a lifejacket, the people on the duck boat that sanked in Branson, should have all been wearing life jackets! They may have had to many people onboard too?!!

it was packed with 30 people, must have been riding low in the water to begin with even with no storm

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said “Our thoughts and prayers right now are with these families that are here,

Ah yes, thoughts and prayers

Branson Mo. Gee i wonder who goes to Branson and what kind of morons go into something like that

The canopy roof on duck boats turned them into a "death trap" even for anyone wearing a life preserver.

Not blacks that's why crime is low....most of your people can't swim most IF not all animals can swim but black nope
