ABC News: Lawsuit filed in fatal duck boat sinking seeks $100 million
The owners and operators of a tourist boat that sank this month in Missouri, killing 17 people, put profits over people’s safety when they decided to put the Ride the Ducks boat on a lake despite design problems and warnings of severe weather, a lawsuit alleges.
A lawsuit filed on behalf of some of the victims of the duck boat accident states, “Duck Boats are death traps for passengers and pose grave danger to the public on water and on land.”
