My mind is reeling from this tragedy because I can’t quite wrap my head around the idea of losing 17 lives and affecting many more with quite surely PTSD. What is hard for me to understand is the poor decisions made by the captain (my best guess) to (a) not hand out life vests when the boat was taking on water, (b) not turn around, go in reverse, with the waves/wind to the nearest shoreline, (c) no calls for help (that have been reported.
It’s very clear vision, 20/20, after a tragedy when you weren’t involved in the accident. I am not judging, but I’m seriously second guessing every tour of any kind I’ve been on and will take in the future. What are the safety precautions, what is the experience of the “lead”, how will people be kept safe if “x” happens?
I feel horribly for all involved and pray for them, but it all just makes my head spin...
