I can’t even look at the still pic. I feel so horrible for those families, especially the kids on that ride, as well as their loved ones. Those damned 70 year-old relics shouldn’t be in use.

Ive actually ridden on those boats down there. Thry even made me drive one for a few minutes when i was a passenger, this was over 25 years ago.

I hate it when the media exploits misery and tragedy for a buck. It is tasteless, at the least.
