Why is no one talking about the clear negligence of letting your kids wakeboard in a congested area?? And, you can’t mirror boat and car laws because they are completely different vessels which respond and behave differently and operate in completely different environments. The open water is not anything like a controlled roadway. It’s infuriating when people who say they want less laws and bureaucracy respond to a tragedy with more laws and bureaucracy. How about holding the adults on Ella’s boat responsible for towing in a congested area and doing so from a party boat filled mostly with kids and few adults, which may have played a role in inhibiting sight lines and communication with the wakeboarders.
that's exactly the herd of elephants in the room that no one is talking about. It's just a fked up situation with the " golden BB" thing. one small object in a bay so big
@@c0gimyun That makes zero sense. If the gentlemen was supposed to be going 10 mph then Ella’s boat would also have had to be going 10 mph. But you can’t wakeboard at 10 mph so either both were speeding or they were not in a no-wake zone.
I've known to NOT ski in congested boating areas since the early 70s. It's not rocket science. Perhaps there should be some required training for boaters pulling skiiers?
Both parents looking past their own failures to find someone else to blame for their kids bad decisions.. At 15 I knew not to waterski in congested areas filled with non waterskiing boats. The teenager party boat and everyone aboard is full to blame for that death..
At this point is anyone sure this guy hit that girl? He looks really hunched over in the video. Thats a lot of boat for a guy that's having issues walking. The "water ski area" (not an official area) is north west of the Rickenbacker bridge. Next to the condos in Brickell. They may not been able to ski there because the water is shallow and the boat they were using was large. I don't see people using a boat that large to waterski so just that is unusual. I think there also needs to be some review of the operator of the boat the girl was on.
Anyone who operates a watercraft should have a boaters safety card. Also was anyone (from the ski boat) waving a flag letting other boaters know this girl was in the water?
You 2 are brainless... if there was a little common sense this kind of things wouldn't happen... everybody played their part on this... the charter that was guiding them, the person that killed her and the parents for letting their child in an unsafe environment. The place where she was killed is full of knuckleheads... but trust me all boating will never be banned... you wish but won't happen... 😂😂
What I don't understand is why was she being pulled in the water for so long? I am not sure I would see someone floating in the water on such a big boat on plane.
It should open a discussion about skiing and waterboard safety. They're the ones that are going to lose that encounter with a moving boat, so you have to be Extra vigilant if self preservation matters to you.
The parents weren’t there. She was there for a birthday party for a friend. Supposedly a licensed captain but not certain . 13 people on the boat. 3 adults and 10 teens.
My sources are saying it was a political hit job because her dad voted democrat. First evidence I’m seeing right now it’s a Hilary hit job, no doubt about it 👍
There is. The towing boat was 42" Fjord with 13 teenagers and they were pulling two wakeboarders at once. The skiers did not drop off at the same time, so by the time the boat slowed down and turned around to go back and pick them up, at least one of them was just a sitting duck. Just a head bobbing in the ocean chop with no protection from all the other boats cruisng along in the bay.
YOU are responsible for the people on YOUR BOAT !!!! The captain of the boat SHE was on SHOULD BE CHARGED ! GO PLAY ON THE FREEWAY WITH YOUR KIDS! ....SEE HOW IT WORKS OUT!
Plus the mount he had it on or did he tow it with a truck. A old man like him could not rig that boat all by him self. If he towed it there there's no way that man even has the ability to un rig a boat that big by himself
Since when is walking a requirement for sitting in a captain’s chair and piloting a boat? This isn’t sailing, lmao. You turn a key, move a lever, and steer the wheel.
They sure dont run their love ones over when they go have way to cuba to pick them up so why are they just run over a young life that is starting to live and learn which this poor soul will not do anymore all due to a so called experienced boater that is cooperating now after his boat has been seized and he is a person of interest way to go there MIA ...SMFH
Leave age and nationality out of it. That’s what the law will do. Did both boat “captains” have licenses. Should the ski boat be pulling 2 juveniles in a congested area? When she fell off how long would it take him to get back to her? Can a power boat captain be responsible for swimmers outside designated areas or do they venture there at their own risk? If the skier was 78 would anybody care? (Yes 78 year olds ski but always with maximum safety assurance. They don’t want to leave this life any earlier than necessary.)

Other people have been saying the same thing. I don't know enough about boating to have an opinion, but I do feel bad for all parties involved.
that's exactly the herd of elephants in the room that no one is talking about. It's just a fked up situation with the " golden BB" thing. one small object in a bay so big
they werent in open water. he was supposed to be going 10 mph to protect wildlife as well as people who fall off boats.
I thought I heard they were towing two people as well.

like playin soccer on a highway
So sad, but who ever the adults operating her boat are the ones who are responsible, charge thm, not the poor old man
How about wake boarding safety?
money doesn't make you smart. this is what happened. get over it and let the old man die in peace at his own home.
i find wealth amongst such povety a MENTAL ILLNESS - sick garbage
How about no water sports in crowded area. That would help.
How about you have to take a class and get a license
I didn't think you were supposed to ski or fish in the channel
that whole area is wide open, no channels or markers
@flwebpro I wonder if it is a private one put up by the homeowner community to mark safe passage into Hurricane Harbor/ Mashta Island.

It's a setup

We always flag on the san joaquin delta , and all our lakes when skiers fall right away! it is law!
Thank you for the News.
Yeah, let's ban all boating because it is dangerous....
good idea....would prevent boaters from harming widlife, people, polluting the waters, and boaters dumping trash into the sea. again good idea!

I think 15 is too young especially without any parental guidance.
What I don't understand is why was she being pulled in the water for so long? I am not sure I would see someone floating in the water on such a big boat on plane.
People should not be water-skiing wake board ect,in a busy outlet inlet thats just foolish and unreasonable ❤

He didn’t “take off”, he continued without stopping. Taking off implies he stopped and then left. That’s not what happened. Bad reporting.
Skiing should not be allowed in the bay
It’s a big bay. Actually it’s the safest place to ski. That thought is not a trail I would like to see us go down.
They should just ban ALL WATERCRAFT.
EVERYTHING! Ban the fish too. Regulate stuff.
Ban it all!
Defund something!
🙏🏽
Wondering why the parent was boating where he was boating.
The parents weren’t there. She was there for a birthday party for a friend. Supposedly a licensed captain but not certain . 13 people on the boat. 3 adults and 10 teens.
I wonder why we have eyebrows.
This is why you should have to take a class and have a license
Lets talk parenting should we????

Blasting around at warp speed outside the channel is a great way for things to happen
Are you referring to the daffy old man - the irresponsible teens - or the whole lot of them ?
Hit and run what if this old man didn’t or never seen that girl maybe it wasn’t his fault.
Water sports are deadly
My dad died swallowing swords.
Mom ran off with the hairless Pygmy and I was born.
There is NO way a 78 years old man who can BARELY walk was piloting that BIG boat...
Plus the mount he had it on or did he tow it with a truck. A old man like him could not rig that boat all by him self. If he towed it there there's no way that man even has the ability to un rig a boat that big by himself
@@xavierd3298 It was docked behind his house...all he had to do was climb aboard and let go the mooring lines. Also, no all elderly people are feeble.
You've met him or are you just a bigot?

I think he needed the old telephone books to sit on, to see over the console.
Not guilty
Oh great pass more stupid laws that won’t create common sense 😂
THIS GUY PETER DENCH, LOOKS LIKE HE IS 3/4 DEAD!!!! WHY DONT YOU PEOPLE GET RID OF THIS GUY, HE HAS BEEN ON CAMERA FOREVER.
Rofl this man is 100 years young
How cruel and rude - do you have any friends ?

78 year old can barely drive cars lets give them 40 foot 1600 HP and does 70 mph easily
Oh, you know him personally. When did you two meet?
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 I know any 78 year old isnt shrp just turn on the TV and watch biden then get back to me with your argument
The manufacturer claims a top speed of 42.4 but I’m sure your marine engineering degree can disprove them
4 400hp engines ya 42.4 still even if you are correct which you are not 78 year old not sharp enough for high performance boats

78 year old operator, and skiing in a busy passage killed her. The two operators should be charged and spend 3 years in prison
so if you plaster someone playing in I 95 during rush hour you should go to prison too? stop being stupid
The 78 year old should absolutely NOT be charged.
Not guilty no proof . Why were u even playing in a danger zone bad parenting
I blame the old man’s parents
Bad parenting
You don’t see Amish kids recklessly waterskiing
