Several boats have sunk on a lake in the US state of Texas during a parade to support President Donald Trump in November's election, officials say.
Authorities say the choppy water was likely caused by the large number of vessels moving closely together on Lake Travis, near the state capital, Austin.
Images showed boats with Trump campaign flags manoeuvring at close quarters.
Well its good that no lives were lost. But here is a good example of why we have Health and Safety rules. Surely the organisers should have done a risk assessment to ensure that this sort of thing didnt happen ?
It seems reckless bordering on stupid.
The water looks quite choppy.
