Nine members of the Coleman family died in July 2018 when a duck boat sank during stormy weather in Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri.
and one of her nephews were the only survivors from their family onboard the boat. The legislation focusing on duck-boat safety is from Rep. André Carson, who represents Indiana's 7th District.
“The National Transportation Safety Board made recommendations 20 years ago for safety measures that could have prevented an incident like this from occurring,” Carson said in a statement. “Sadly, those recommendations were not implemented – until now.” Carson thanked Tia Coleman for her advocacy and said the safety regulations will save lives in the future.
“I'm determined to do all I can to make sure there are no more funerals of duck boat drowning victims,” Tia Coleman . “There's nothing that can right the wrong because I can't get them back. The only thing that will make this better is that no other family will have to go through what I went through."Lawsuits filed against Ripley Entertainment Inc., the duck boat manufacturer, in the wake of the 2018 sinking detailed more than two dozen deaths linked to six duck-boats sinking in the U.S. and Canada.
