Prayers sent for the families!
Oh, man. Prayers going out for all involved.
Terrible news, prayers sent!!
Prayers sent.
They actually went back and found security camera footage of the boat going through the spillway

Bizarre to me that this is even possible. With an open spillway, you would think there would be some type of safety mechanism to prevent a boat from being able to go over.

Prayers going up for these men and their families!!When just the turbines are running there is a bunch of current on the up side of the dam. Open all the flood gates and the current pull is multiplied greatly.A boat capsizing any where near that dam and you are at the mercy of the amount of water being pulled through.The day this occurred I believe they're was pretty high winds.Years back there was a piece of a hull of a boat at the ramp below the dam as a reminder of what can happen if you get too close to open flood gates.Attachment 265152
