  1. The headline is VERY MISLEADING.
    You don’t wear a life jacket when you’re on a yacht. Not unless it’s going down. The pilot of the small boat says he was told to take a total of 7 people (including himself) back to shore, through some pretty rough waters. The small boat went down – not the yacht. A lot more to this – and likely the fault of either the yacht’s captain (not the boat pilot) or the party organizers.

  2. Everything is fun in the sun, until it’s no longer fun. As anyone should understand, no one plans on an accident.
    No doubt that ol’ rascal alcohol was along for the false courage ride. Sad in the end, when those dead bodies were found.

  3. Wait a minute!
    Article states: Police are now trying to establish if their deaths were simply a tragic accident or could have been prevented.
    How about both. Who writes this idiocy?

  4. I bet they would have loved to trade their influence for a life jacket?
    Just like the left hates guns until they need one. No one is coming to rescue you, you’ll always be your own first responder, plan accordingly.
