They were loading one of the 6's in the truck, I wonder if that was the cause or the aftermath

there was a post on a FB page of someone close to the situation and he said that the pontoon was only involved because while he was trying to help the people thrown in the water, the cat was still running (no lanyard) and spinning putting the people in the water in jeopardy and he supposedly stuffed his pontoon in front of the boat to stop it. Sad deal is, the guy also said that it cost the driver of that pontoon a leg that was injured severely in the accident by doing so. Apparently the driver of the Cat was very experienced with twin engine cats but only had this particular boat for 4 days. Cause was failure/loss of a drive. And to make matters worse...this was all at a benefit for a fellow boater that was injured and they were trying to raise money for his bills. The man that lost his life was the father in law of the cat owner. Sad deal all around.

Very sad story. I was thru that area last summer. We met some awesome people along the 1000 miles of the Ohio River.
