Drama on the kitimat river!

A drift boat up side down in the kitimat. We called the rcmp and search and resque.
We tried to get to the boat, but the current was to strong and to deep.
A bad picture but the rcmp towed the boat back to shore. There where 5 people in it that all survived the flip over. The dog did not made it. It was tied down to the boat and had no chance of surviving this drama! So never tie a dog to the boat!
The kitimat river is a very dangerous river, it claims ives almost every year, because people underestimate the power of the water. There are lot's of log jams that can kill you in a second.
That is why we use AIRE self bailing rafts, the top of the line in rafts!
