(6,010 posts)2. It really sickened me to watch and I thought I had a tough stomach
I cant even look at the still pic. I feel so horrible for those families, especially the kids on that ride, as well as their loved ones. Those damned 70 year-old relics shouldnt be in use.

Ive actually ridden on those boats down there. Thry even made me drive one for a few minutes when i was a passenger, this was over 25 years ago.
I hate it when the media exploits misery and tragedy for a buck. It is tasteless, at the least.
