    DUKW Crash Fatalities

    When I was a claims adjuster one of the hardest things I had to do was meet with the families of those killed in an auto accident. Usually it was at the wrecking yard as they were gathering their loved ones belongings. You feel helpless trying to comfort someone while getting them to sign...

    DUKW Crash Fatalities

    I'm willing to bet they didn't pay taxes on $4,000,000. That's what "business deductions" are for. And just like certain streets can be restricted so "corporations" driving 18 wheelers or other large trucks aren't allowed to use them I imagine boat ramps could be restricted for the same...

    DUKW Crash Fatalities

    Didn't say they didn't pay taxes. I lived in Kent for 2 years so know about the taxes in the area. But it's one thing to build a public use item figuring the average "tax payer" is going to use it a couple of times a month (if that) versus multiple times a day. Traffic at a public boat...

    DUKW Crash Fatalities

    Prayers for all involved. Last report I heard was that it's moved up to 4 fatalities (all on the bus). My fear is that it was a mechanical issue on the DUKW. Not that it matters in the Grand Scheme of Life but it will look bad toward our hobby (even though this was a commercial enterprise).

    DUKW Crash Fatalities

    From the picture it looks like both were traveling the same direction and one (appears to have been the bus) tried changing lanes into the other.
