Five-Year Anniversary of Branson Duck Boat Tragedy

It has now been five years since a tourist boat capsized, killing 17 people in Branson.

The Branson Ride the Ducks boat was travelling on Table Rock Lake July 19, 2018 when a storm hit the area, causing the boat to flip.

There were 31 people inside the boat at the time of the incident, with 17 of them dying.

Since then, the company has closed, new safety regulations have been put in place, and three people were charged in the incident.

All three individuals had the charges against them dropped due to federal charges not having jurisdiction.
