very sad! agree with all the comments. the minimum we can do is learn from the accident!

absolutely, one thing is for sure, I have a 9 and 7 year old and I will be paying extra attention to them having read this awful tale. Mine never hang over the bow, but my son does/did travel up front.

I feel for the father, in one single moment life changes forever.
