It's a sad story, guys; two powerboats collided a little after dark on a July night near Magnuson Park on Lake Washington. One beached at Magnuson with injuries, the other one chose to make the run to the UW stadium dock to try to take their injured to the UW emergency room a few blocks away. A 14-year-old girl, I presume on this boat, didn't make it.
I don't actually know if drinking was involved, though it is in 80% of the marine accidents around here. This is one reason I'm glad I live in a '7 knots / no wake' zone.
