Lawyer For Other Duck Boat Victims Says They're A 'Death Trap'

  • 6 years ago

17 drowned when a “duck boat” sank in a storm over a Missouri lake Thursday.

It was reminiscent of an accident of the amphibious tourist vessel in 1999 in which 13 people died.

Attorney Robert Mongeluzzi said the canopy roof on duck boats turned them into a “death trap."

Reuters reports they lawyer says that's even for anyone wearing a life preserver.

Authorities were investigating on Friday how the boat capsized and the cause of the deaths.
