From what I understand, the driver of the boat did not own it, was drunk, and had kids on the boat. He is rumored on St. Maarten to be a former drug runner, who rolled on his "esteemed colleagues" and was relocated to SXM under witness protection.

If the consensus of this thread is that it runs in poor taste, I am all for deleting it. That was not it's intention.
As evidenced by the last posting, which was subsequently removed along with a couple prior pictures, there is certainly no humor in events causing injury or death. Were this an aviation forum, you wouldn't quote a 767 pilot hitting a tall building.
It is unlikely that any "Oops!" is without bruising, if only to the ego or wallet. Seeing hundreds of beautiful boats piled up or up-ended by a hurricane likely hits us all in the gut. Yet we are drawn to see more.
The thought here was to be able to laugh at ourselves, knowing that we have been or could easily be there. And flat out stupidity begs for a chuckle or two if the transgressor walks away.
Humor rarely lacks a target. Let's dump this if it is offensive in any manner.

Perhaps I missed something here. I have not seen any photos that I believe had related fatalities. No question that #17 shows a huge amount of damage and obviously some personal sense of loss to the owners of those vessels. At the same time there is some dark humour to that photo. Couldn't help but translate that scene to one of a multi car pile-up on an icy day a few years back and somewhere under that mess a haggard traffic cop trying to figure out who hit who first.
Sometimes, as with the Legacy thread, there is something to be learned. Better planning or that if a reminder is required of Nature's power it can and will be delivered if you give her a chance.

We got a post from a new member in the Philipines this morning, where we were informed that a picture was from after a terror attack of a vessel. So the initial poster, CaptEvan asked to have it removed and so I did.
Of course we will not have fun over any tragic events, so if we are not certain of the outcome we better stay clear from such pictures.

Ok, back to the fun & games. I'll go out on a limb and poke fun at myself. Though I wasn't at the wheel, I was right next to it on a north bound ICW trip. Naturally, the wind was howling and their was a moon tide. The whole area was (slightly) covered with water at the time but we were dead center of the channel. I saw a stream coming out from the bank on our port side & told my friend to come slightly over to stbd. Just then......Whammo  That is one hell of a scary feeling! You can see the TowboatUS guy just as ashamed because moments after coming along side, he too was stuck. By the time we got out of there, their were two other stuck sport fishers next to him and several more cruisers waiting about a 1/4 mile away.
