Lake Erie Coast Guard Rescues 19 last Saturday in multiple capsizes. One was a 25' FV!

Glad know one was hurt out of all 19 people rescued Saturday.   A video near Put in Bay shows a 25' FV going down with 7 on board.   Scary video for sure, its amazing how fast she went down once she started.

Hmm, sounds like he hit bottom and ignored a high water alarm?

You really have to f up to capsize your boat. Esp a 25' one.

@J3ff  There is rumors of exactly that...

That boat does not look like it capsized it looks like it got swamped from the stern and sank.

The CG keeps calling them capsized.  I also thought capsized indicated rolled over.

That sure is a scary moment, glad everyone is safe.
