New rules for repurposed WWII-era duck boats aim to improve safety on 16 in use after drownings

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:12:05 GMT

Five years after 17 people died when a duck boat sank on a Missouri lake, the U.S. Coast Guard has issued new rules for the amphibious World War II vessels retrofitted for tourist excursions.But the new rules have limited impact: Only 16 applicable vessels are still in use.The interim rules posted Monday require removal of window coverings and canopies, or installation of a canopy that doesn’t keep passengers from escaping if the boat floods or sinks. The Missouri vessel, and an Arkansas duck boat that sank in 1999, killing 13 people, had overhead roofs or canopies that the National Transportation Safety Board warned could greatly increase the risk of passengers becoming trapped and drowning.The new rules also include requirements for passengers to wear personal flotation devices, requirements for alarms and pumps, and they strengthen inspection regulations.The rules apply only to repurposed World War II-era Army vessels now used for land-and-water tours — not newer vehicles bu...

Missouri plans 'ShakeOut' earthquake drill in October

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:12:05 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The state of Missouri is preparing to hold an earthquake drill next month and is calling on residents to participate. The Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) said recent disasters in Morocco and Turkey are reminders that earthquakes can be destructive -- and deadly. Thousands have died in both quakes. When will the fall colors peak in Kansas, Missouri? The agency also noted that one of the United States' most active earthquake zones is in Missouri: the New Madrid Seismic Zone, centered in southeast Missouri. In 1811-12, the New Madrid zone produced some of the most powerful earthquakes in U.S. history, SEMA said. If it were to happen again today, it would be felt across the Midwest, and there would be major damage and destruction. Already, the New Madrid Seismic Zone is one of the most active zones in the country, with over 200 small quakes per year. That's why SEMA wants Missourians to be prepared. The agency is encouraging residents to register ...
