Nine family members among 17 dead in US 'duck boat' tragedy

Nine family members among 17 dead in US 'duck boat' tragedyNine members of one family were among 17 people killed when a US tourist boat capsized during a sudden storm on a Missouri lake, relatives told US media on Friday, with accusations they were told there'd be no need for life jackets. The accident occurred Thursday night in full view of witnesses, at least one of whom captured video of the amphibious vessel bobbing in rough waters on Table Rock Lake near the city of Branson, a popular holiday destination. Coleman said the boat's captain had told passengers earlier in their trip that they "won't need" life jackets.
