Eight family members who survived a duck boat sinking in Missouri have filed a federal lawsuit against the owner and operators of the tourist attraction.
A woman whose husband and three children died when a duck boat sank last month said Tuesday she hopes to save lives by backing an effort to ban the boats.
Members of an Indiana family who lost nine relatives when a duck boat sank in Missouri described their pain while calling for a ban on the amphibious tourist boats.
The owners and operators of a boat that sank put profits over people's safety when they decided to put the Ride the Ducks boat on a lake, a lawsuit alleges.
More than half of the 17 people killed when a tourist boat sank on a Branson lake were members of the same Indiana family, and they likely would not have been on the ill-fated trip but for a ticket mix-up.
Emergency crews from multiple agencies were on the scene of a mass-casualty incident on Table Rock Lake on Thursday evening shortly after 7 p.m. in Stone County
