NTSB faults duck boat company for 2018 sinking that killed 17 people

Washington Ripley Entertainment and Ride the Ducks Branson are to blame for the 2018 sinking of a duck boat that killed 17 people because managers did not relay a severe weather forecast to the vessel's captain, federal investigators concluded Tuesday.

The nearly two-year long National Transportation Safety Board probe found a"systemic problem with the company as a whole," an investigator said at a board meeting Tuesday. The board decided against specifically naming the captain of the Stretch Duck 7 in its findings of fault.
