How do you know he was going 140? The cnn report showed nothing of how fast he was going. Still sad though.

Yep, upon futher review of those other two links, no where it says they were doing 140 mph. It says it got out of control and might have hit speeds up to 100 mph. Do you have a police report in front of you or something.

I work on a gas dock which the poker run was coming.

flynn came up and told me all about it. He and other boats in the run were running 110+ and those 2 boats were just walking him.

Why do you question?

Sounds like the old man didnt know what he was doing and lost control and killed alot of people.

That sucks, and is insanely fast. I would be too afraid to go that fast on a boat.

Just an //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif.......for 140mph+ collision to occur the boats involved in said collision only needed to be moving 70mph+.

i work on gas docks on a lake too...some crazy shit happens out here but..nothin too bad this year..but its easy to assume they were goin at those speeds..**** things will fly.

I'll just add that drag on a boat is much greater than the drag a car would feel.

Also, I highly doubt he was inexperienced... probably far from it.

Accidents happen, and fingers need not be pointed.

I'm assuming one of the turbines blew cause he blows them all the time..
