Major Boating Accident On Lake Tahoe

[Sprig]

Yesterday on Lake Tahoe which is in both California and Nevada was a major boat accident. A 27’ Chris Craft carrying 10 people capsized. 6 dead, 2 missing and 2 in the hospital. The winds were 35+ mph and waves 8’. I’ve been on Tahoe several times and when the winds come up you get off the water quick. The water in Tahoe is extremely cold and hypothermia Starts within minutes. Don’t know if they were wearing life jackets but I’m pretty sure they weren’t. They should have all wore flotation devices but the boat owner should never have been out in those conditions. Very sad. Be safe all.
