Balimela (Orissa) August 5, 1998: 42 persons were feared drowned when a boat carrying 50 passengers capsized in the Balimela hydel reservoir on the Orissa-Andhra Pradesh border this afternoon. The cause of the mishap is that the boat was over-crowded. As a result, it tilted and ultimately went upside down causing the accident. Eight persons swam ashore safely. Army men have been pressed into service to rescue the drowned men. Only 11 bodies have been re- covered so far. Search for other dead bodies is still continuing on a war footing.

3 min read When a boat capsizes, it rolls onto its side or turns upside down, tossing passengers and everything else on the boat into the water. According to the What causes a boat to capsize? When a boat capsizes, it’s usually because of excess weight, uneven weight distribution, inclement weather, leaks, waves or sharp turns. Boats have a maximum capacity limit for a reason. If you overload a boat with too many people or supplies, you increase the risk of capsizing. Evenly distributing the weight of the passengers and supplies onboard is just as crucial as not overloading it. If there’s too much weight in one area, you’re more likely to tip over. Mother Nature can cause trouble for even the most experienced captains. When rain and wind kick up, boats become less stable and more prone to capsizing. If your boat has a leak that’s letting in water, the excess weight can throw you off balance. Check the drain plugs and fittings to ensure the water stays where it belongs — outside of your boat. Whether they’re from the wake of another boat or the natural churn of the water, waves create instability that can turn your boat upside down. Just as speeding can increase your risk of an accident on the road, excess speed and sharp turns increase your risk of capsizing on the water. How to prevent a boat from capsizing Taking the proper precautions can reduce your risk of your boat capsizing. Ensure your boat has evenly distributed weight, be aware of your surroundings, pay attention...

(AP) – A boat carrying hospitality workers capsized Monday during a tour of a historic underground cavern system built to carry water from the Erie Canal beneath the western New York city of Lockport, killing one person who became trapped beneath the overturned vessel, officials said. All 29 people on board the flat-bottomed boat operated by Lockport Cave Tours were thrown into water between 5 feet and 6 feet deep when the craft tipped over toward the end of the roughly 300-foot route. The tours take visitors on an underground boat ride through a dimly lit, rough-hewn tunnel, which was blasted out in the 19th century to transport canal water as an industrial power source. Some passengers dunked into the water were able to get to safety on their own. Rescue crews using an inflatable boat rescued about 16 others, Lockport Fire Chief Luca Quagliano said.

(WKBW) Jeremy Swiatowy, 42, watched as rescue workers breached the wall to the tunnel with a sledgehammer before shimmying through the hole to reach people inside. “The water in the caves is super cold,” he said. When rescuers reached the boat, some passengers had climbed on top of its upturned hull, Quagliano said at a news conference. Authorities did not immediately release the name of the man who died. His wife was taken to a hospital. A total of 11 people were brought to hospitals, mostly with minor injuries, the fire chie...
