Does no one see the problem I have with this story?? Sorry for the loss of everyone, but 2 high school students being picked up at a night club by a former teacher??? Why were they with HIM in the first place? Sounds kinda fishy to me!!! I can't believe you guys missed it!! A night club, Students, Teacher!!!:thumbdown: If this is the whole story of course.

Who cares why? Were they legal to be with him? Were they under age? Was that against the law? What if they hit another vessel? Doesn't matter now.

Kind of "does" matter, actually.

It all matters!! The point I was making, "you don't see a problem with a teacher picking up students in a bar? Then taking them anywhere??? If he was not being a sorry POS then he may have been at home with his family and not picking up kids the age of his own children!!!!"

I am tired of people being in charge of young adults preying on young people, It makes me sick. 1 was 18 the other 17 not sure of laws but hey, they arrest teachers all the time for preying on students!! That's MY point!!

If they ALL made better decisions they wouldn't have to be in the news RIGHT!!!!!

Thank you ALL of THAT matters!! I don't know His / her point! Lots of questions and no opinions or answers!!! I am glad they did not hit any innocent by standards but still the grown up was the wrong person in MHO!! He was a "teacher" somehow!!

Bad decisions usually lead to less desired results in most cases and this is another sad example of bad decisions. Not sure where it said a 17 yr old tho.

From follow up article:

Rob Williams, 47, of Niceville, Taylor M. Evanoff, 18, of Niceville, and Jamilia Beltz, 21, whose address was not available, were killed when Rob Williams' boat hit a piling under the Mid-Bay Bridge about a half-mile north of Legendary Marine. A search team discovered a damaged piling under the bridge and evidence of a boat accident, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Stan Kirkland.

I'm not sure I have ever seen anyone wear a life jacket in salt water other than children. Just my own observation.
I always tell people in my boat where the life jackets are, but I have never put one on.
Yet I do not frequently attend night spots by boat.
I'm sure it was more than likely alcohol involved. But I could be wrong. I know a couple of cold ones would not make me hit a bridge. But I do know that a few hottie totties might make me come a little closer to the bridge.

Sad story. For all involved.

Thats 3 beer drinking guys that killed they're families and friends around here in the last couple years…remember the guy who rolled his speedboat onto Ono island? Yet to many on here, boating and drinking go hand in hand……while they dog a cancer patient for smoking a joint??:blink:

I don't remember a speed boat, but there was a younger guy that ran a Cape Horn 31 up on the smaller island at the east end of Ono and it turned over. There were several casualties involved.

I heard one was a former student and married. Who knows, don't believe anything you hear and half of what you see.

 

[murfpcola]

They should fire the teacher for this!!

you guys are coming to some outstanding conclusions here.

hottie totties. underage. must have been cheating on his wife. picking up on chicks the age of his kids...

wow.

do any of you know if they were related in any way? do any of you know what any of them actually look like? is the guy married?

maybe hes a family friend of the two girls and they called him to pick them up and take them across the bay?

for all you know, these two "hotties" (which i assume all you think they are) could be some 300lb back woods, inbred chicks.

btw. you cant fire the former coach...who is also dead i might add... just saying.

He had four kids...emphasis on "had."

 

[SaltAddict]

I agree that there sure is some serious SPECULATION from the "geniuses" on this forum. From what I read, both girls were 18 or over (I'm not defending anything). The "coach" was no longer a coach (before the accident). He was also recently divorced.

Given all that, it doesn't take too many drinks for a recent divorcee to think that might be a good idea. Maybe he was just giving them a ride. Maybe he was holding the helm just fine and the hydraulics failed.

 

[aroundthehorn]

Doesn't matter, really; he was responsible for the deaths of two people. Emphasis on was.

This is EXACTLY why I don't boat at night, and I hate that I don't because some of the best fishing is at night, but I have been out and even with spotlight and GPS I just don't feel comfortable, too many things can happen, did a telephone pole float right in your path, did a sail boat sink previously that day with a mast sticking up 6 feet out of the water, I just would rather not risk it.
