Duck boat is raised from Missouri lake

The duck boat that capsized and sank last week on a sightseeing cruise was raised from a Missouri lake yesterday, more than three days after the accident that killed 17 people near the tourist town of Branson.

Footage from Missouri’s Springfield television station, KYTV, showed a crane attached to a barge pulling the duck boat from Table Rock Lake, and another boat pushing the vessel towards shore.

The boat, which was submerged in 80ft of water, went down on Thursday evening after a sudden thunderstorm.
