There here is inadequate weather reporting if the storm front was a surprise in Brandon, Missouri where there are 13 people dead. There has been a great deal of turbulent weather the last few days across the USA. Then water vapor satellites I looked at shows stronge storm fronts moving through the area, both leaving and arriving. Just because there might be a sliver of sunlight doesn’t mean the weather won’t change in the next few minutes.

The people weren’t weary life vests, but, the water I saw there was no reassurances life vests would have prevented the deaths. But, regardless, the life vests should have been worn anyway, especially for children. Missouri doesn’t have standard laws to protect children? Why? Because they leave it up to insurance rates to dictate the precautions businesses take? Governor Parsons should be ashamed of himself if basis precautions such as life preservers are not required when in a boat, especially a commercial boat. How many of those people knew how to swim? There were at least a few and yet the state sees no reason to impose regulations to protect lives.

The Branson Duck Ride needs to be shut down permanently because the owners cannot conduct the attraction safely and Missouri needs better laws and regulations to protect consumers. 

EVERYONE is at fault!
