BRANSON, Mo. — July 19 marks the five-year anniversary of a Branson tragedy.
A Branson Ride the Ducks tourist boat capsized in 2018 during a storm on Table Rock Lake. Seventeen of the 31 people onboard died, and the incident captured the nation’s attention as the boat was pulled from the lake and the death count rose.
The staff at CoxHealth in Branson train and prepare for disasters, but according to Dr. Shawn Usery, the Duck Boat sinking was a bigger disaster than they could have predicted.
