Čoln je za razvedrilo najela 12-članska družina. Žal se ni vse končalo po načrtih.
V nesreči čolna na reki Hudson v New Yorku sta v torek popoldne umrla 50-letna ženska in 7-letni deček. Motorni čoln se je prevrnil, ženska in otrok pa sta ostala ujeta pod njim.
Reševalci so ju kasneje skušali oživiti, vendar je bilo prepozno. Na pomoč sta najprej priskočili posadki trajektov redne proge med Manhattnom in New Jerseyjem, ki imajo postajo v bližini Intrepida.

Nekaj članov posadke je že pred desetletjem pomagalo reševati potnike z letala US Airway, s katerim je pilot Sully Sullenberger zaradi okvare motorja zasilno pristal na reki Hudson.

Potapljači so zvečer dvignili čoln z reke Hudson, policija pa je sprožila preiskavo. Newyorški pristaniški inšpektor Anthony Russo je dejal, da je lahko vzrok nesreče tudi močan veter ali pa močan tok skupaj z neizkušenim voznikom. "Reka Hudson je vedno nevarna za plovbo s čolni," je dejal.
