Nine members of the same family were among 17 people killed when a "duck boat” sank during a storm on Thursday on a Missouri lake in one of the deadliest U.S. tourist tragedies in years.
The World War Two-style amphibious vehicle was carrying 31 passengers including children when the sudden "microburst” storm hit Table Rock Lake outside Branson, with waves slowly swamping the vehicle before it sank.
More than three dozen people have died in incidents involving duck boats on land and water in the United States over the past two decades.
