Sad news. The 2 that didn't make it died at the hospital, one of them was 89 years old. One more still in critical condition. Here's the story and video:

The vid says they were from AZ, and towed their own boat to VA every year to go striper fishing.

Should of never been out there.

Absoulute tragedy
someone should have thought twice before loading up an 18 ft boat with 6 people in the middle of Jan
