4 killed in Seattle crash were ages 17 to 49

The deadly crash also left several injured after the charter bus and duck boat tour bus collided on Aurora Bridge in Seattle, Washington. “It’s our typical companywide inspection”, Gill said.

“We’ve spoken to the driver who was on the scene, our directors of safety who were on the scene”, Johnson said.

“Duck boats are unsafe on the land and on the water”.

“It happened so fast”, he said.

Her father, 57-year-old Greg Moody, stood by her side.

“I looked up and saw the bus coming at us”, she said during an interview Friday at Harborview Medical Center, where she is recovering from a broken collarbone and other injuries.

A family of survivors from the “Ride the Ducks” tour bus crash on Friday described the accident and the tragedy. Both were ejected from the vehicle.

The other victims from Thursday’s crash were identified as 18-year-old Privaudo Putradauto of Indonesia, Mami Sato, 37, from Japan and a 17-year-old Chinese student whose name was not released because she is a minor.

Police officers and other officials watch as a “Ride the Ducks”… “It was to be a fun introduction to Seattle”, she said.

Katie doesn’t blame the driver or the Ride The Duck tours for the accident.

Because foreign students were on the charter bus, efforts were being made to contact consulates, Mayor Ed Murray said.

The two full-length portraits of a young couple painted by the Dutch master shortly before their wedding in 1634 have been owned by the wealthy Rothschild banking family since the mid-19th century and have rarely been seen in public.

The UTC is now examining such paperwork as part of an ongoing probe into the company.

“This is a business model that requires the driver to be a driver, tour guide and entertainer at the same time”, said Steve Bulzomi, the attorney for a motorcyclist who was run over and dragged by a duck boat that came up behind him at a stoplight in Seattle in 2011. NTSB member Earl Weener says it’s the first time the agency has investigated a crash involving the military-style vehicles on dry land.

The NTSB wants to speak to witnesses or those with information about the crash.

Duck boats are not the only vehicles on the road that raise this criticism.

North Seattle College has been working with government officials to reach their families.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families involved in today’s tragic accident”, Ride the Ducks said in a statement.

“The NTSB investigation will really help us understand whether it is the structure itself, or the vehicles, or a combination of the two”, he said. “… so this is a new aspect of amphibious vehicles for us”.

Murray said the company had voluntarily taken the duck boats off city streets for the time being.

Bellair Charters, based in Ferndale, was last inspected by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in 2013 and received a satisfactory rating, according to the UTC.

Brown said the students had come to Seattle to improve their lives by seeking higher education and it’s “absolutely devastating” that Thursday’s events will keep them from fulfilling that dream. North Seattle College has more 1,000 worldwide students from more than 50 countries.

Scott Kubly, Seattle’s director of transportation, said a permanent median barrier had been considered for the bridge, which has been the site of other major accidents.
