The victim was literally playing in the middle of traffic. Any potential sailor passing could have hit her. I don't think any charges will follow. She was in the wrong. If she was a minor, then whoever allowed her out there is partly responsible as well. Regardless of the circumstances, this is a tragedy and a travesty.
Please investigate the boat that was towing Ella Adler. How long was the second girl being towed until she fell? How far away were they from Ella Adler when the second girl fell? How long was Ella Adler waiting for the boat to pick her up? Had the towing boat not even turned around yet?
Everybody is commenting on his age. Just look at the video with his attorney he can barely walk. What about his sight? His hearing? Yeah sure everyone is different but seeing this guy my first thought was he shouldn’t be out in that boat alone.
Nope. I think you paint with a very broad brush. I know 2 Sailors who both are in their 80's. These guys race 3 times a week. They compete with Sailor's half their age and some in their 20's and 30's. The guys in their 80's are always finishing in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.
Skiing in a bay right next to thoroughfare channel is even more dangerous. Add to that towing 2 boarders at the same time and you're really pushing it.
I guess some folks hear 78 and must think feeble and blind. My dad turns 80 in a few months and was swinging a pick axe this week digging a foundation for a stone wall he’s building. He still chops wood, gets under cars, pushes wheelbarrow loads up a long hill to the top of our property, etc. He’s in excellent health and great physical and mental condition. I know 40 year old’s I’d trust way less to captain a boat.

Some things are just tragic accidents.
Very tragic 😢
It is easy to believe the gentleman piloting the boat had no idea what happened. A very unfortunate accident for ALL involved!!!💯

Tragic accident. That's all.
That was my first reaction to this story…whoever hit her didn’t even know it. Simply tragic…!!!
Wonder what those 4 huge outboard motors alone cost.
I wonder if those motors hit the body?
@@ethanshusband8913no
You can google that on your own time. We’re all focused on more important things right now?
I can imagine endless worse tragedies, for example 2 deaths.
How about 3....or 4?...what a asinine comment.
@@spankyssurprise1361 you caught on. Im proud of you champ.
The whole country knew this happened... But, he didn't find out until the cops showed up at his door...sorry, I wasn't born yesterday.
Maybe he doesn't watch the news.
I didn't know about it until today. Nine days after this video was posted.
I didn’t know about this until today… some people just don’t watch the news, it’s all negative.
Yes you were .

Tragic ... but do the Youngsters understand ..... where is a good place to water ski ??
Dose Larry have a brother named Harry asking for a friend.
Yes
A 78 year old out on a big boat alone is a little dangerous. No one to spot people in the water or other boats nearby.
Absolutely

Poor rich white girl😢
Everyone says his alcoholic son of 58 years old and with a long criminal history of alcohol related operating vehicles is the prime suspect.
🇵🇸
You don’t want any wave action why you water ski😂
I didn’t realize getting hit by a boat was wave action to you
They weren't water skiing , they were wake boarding .
How does Black Community weigh in on boating in Florida
WTF DO YOU MEAN BY THAT DUMB @$$ COMMENT?
Can we just be people we are all equal.
this has nothing to do with race.

Too old to be boating by.
His self
He's probably sharper than most of the people out there, since he wasn't drinking.
Biden is older.
Wrong answer thanks for playing.

@@bronwenable what about trump? Mr falling asleep with his mouth wide open in court lmfaoo
Driver should be charged
For what!?
I see no crime here
79 years old? Driving a speedboat? Rescind his License!!
A 78 YR OLD SHOULDN'T BE RUNNING A BOAT LIKE THAT!!! HOPEFULLY HE'S GOING TO BE PROSECUTED AND NOT A SLAP ON THE WRIST!!! RIP ELLA!!
He won't even be charged. And he shouldn't be.
Nice all caps. Really shows how unhinged and emotional you are.
you really don't know what you are talking about. you don't know the facts, so best to just shut it.
Bully much? Your president is as old.
Ridiculous
