Chief Grey Bear Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Tragic no doubt. I have to go with Cricket on this one though. What in the world was 3 adults, 1 child, and 1 generator doing in a 12ft. Jon???? And I wasn't aware that the Niangua was located in SWMO.

oneshot Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Ok where they was what I see the river isn't that Bad,some current but no Logs or Rocks to hit there.Like I say I have a Wide 12 and have considerd using it Gigging but just me and my Son.I told my Son the other day we would take it put a Platform out of Plywood on the Front,he could get up there dance around just to see how stable it is.He said he would but wait until the water warms. Thing is my Son works on the river all Summer,has for years but he makes fun of me always wearing my PFD,like I told him things happen way too fast. What gets me is why so many accidents happening on this river? It isn't that Bad a river but maybe its just too many trying to do so much in such a Small area? oneshot

The story in the Springfield paper says that the third man went into the river to save the other two men and the boy, after the boat swamped: http://www.news-leader.com/article/20110131/NEWS01/110131016/Overloaded-boat-could-been-factor-fatal-capsizing-officials-say?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE
