When things go bad....they usually go bad in the worse way at the worse time in the worse place. Over water at night in bad weather...is one of the situations that can get any of us. To compound that by rising terrain....my heart breaks!
EP....sometimes one can get roped into a situation that left to one's own devices you might have avoided. How many times have I gotten into a pickle following some Lead that set us up for a problem.
As tragic as this accident was....the good news is the folks down there have tried to learn from what happened. That doesn't remove the loss and sorrow but hopefully some other families might not have to endure what these folks have.
