Flipping Houseboat Video

Big Local News....
At 11 pm PST this past Wednesday Night a Houseboat full of young partiers capsized 300 feet from shore on Okanagan Lake in Kelowna BC.... Unfortunately one 20 year old female was killed in the incident, and several more injured.
It was reported that 61 people were on board this particular vessel (that is rated to carry only 30) at the time of the accident.

- On a personal note, One of the Flight Attendants from my company was inside the cabin section at the time but luckily managed to escape unscathed. -

How scary must that have been? Those poor people. I'd always be wary of going on a party on a boat, I just don't think drunken revellers are safe off dry land.

How sad! :( Partying on a boat is fine, within reason.

Totally fucking tragic for the woman who died, and maybe more so her family and friends. It's a freaky scary video that will give them nightmares.

But I don't know that being party-drunk is any more risky than being alive in the first place. What's the difference?
