Duck Boat Involved In Crash Didn't Have Axle Repair Recommended in 2013
"A duck boat involved in a deadly Seattle traffic crash did not have an axle repair that was recommended for the amphibious vehicle in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board said Sunday.
NTSB member Earl Weener said investigators only recently learned that Ride the Ducks International issued the warning about potential axle failure and recommended a specific repair two years ago. But he said the boat involved in Seattle crash didn't have the fix.
It's unclear if the company that owns the vehicle — Ride the Ducks of Seattle — was aware of the warning, Weener said at a news conference.
A representative of the Seattle duck tour company said he did not have any immediate comment on the NTSB's account."
