I think the issue here is people were unable to escape a sinking


boat. Tragedies happen and we can’t ban everything capable of producing a tragedy — busses, helicopters, ferries as you note. But the safety standards of duck boats certainly need to be looked at if the design makes escape so difficult. They weren’t that far from shore so if people were able to easily grab a life preserver and abandon ship, there’s no reason anyone needed to die
