Attorney for Victims Says Duck Boats are ‘Death Traps’

The attorney for the families of two people killed
when a Ride the Ducks boat sunk in the Delaware
River earlier this month is asking the city and the
Coast Guard to keep the boats off the river because
of on-going safety concerns.

KYW’s Jim Melwert reports that attorney Bob Mongeluzzi points to a 2002 NTSB report that says the Duck Boats sink too easily if they become flooded. And the canopy of the boat, he says, essentially cages people in:

“And despite eight-to-ten years of knowledge and recommendations from the NTSB, the industry has not heeded their recommendations and continue to rent out and make available death traps.”
