A preliminary investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has revealed that all eight individuals who tragically lost their lives in a recent boat capsizing incident on Lake Tahoe were not wearing life jackets. The report highlights the desperate circumstances leading up to the capsizing, including the impact of a sudden storm that contributed to the tragedy. Survivors reported that the boat appeared to reverse course twice before it capsized. Despite the availability of life vests, none of the deceased wore one, raising concerns about boating safety practices in stormy conditions.
