Looks like this might be one of the last videos of Flash Gordon Running...

You can see were the drive on the right side of Flash Gordon came out causing the boat to turn right into the Nashville Catz.
That's just a bad day for boating.
I hope we learn something from it.

Hummnn a awfull tragedy . Looks to me the running surface collapsed on the eliminator just forward of the transom on the right side, the amount of bits and pieces left in the water, unreal.

Watch this video link of Flash Gordon running around 100 mph less than 20' away from the guy filming this with his family in the boat and several others that were obviously already floating around and tell me what part of this is "safe operation" of this very dangerous boat.
Its sad that this happend but at some point your actions can catch up to haunt you and others.Maybe he had more faith in those drive not failing than he should have.

If ever drove that fast that close to me and my family he would get a fast pitch beer can to the side of his boat.Yal can flame me if you feel you must but that $hit dont fly with me.God rest their soles.Truly a tragity and in my prayers are the dead.Last edited by Hot Shot Merc; 10-12-2006 at 06:36 AM.

I totally agree with you Hot Shot Merc!!! It could of happened to any of us. If you lose control of a boat that size and speed you could literally kill dozens of people if you run that close to them. I dont know about the law in Ok, but here in Texas if you pass someone on plane that close it is against the law. Not to mention you would definately get a Beer can to the side of the boat as stated earlier. My prayers are with the lives lost and thier familys. Just goes to show you that you never know when its your time. Shayne

I can't believe that. We were running next to "Flash Gordon" last year on the Lake Travis Poker Run, I just can't believe it. Thoughts and prayers go out the all families involved.

Totally conflicting stories, different sets of photos, and many other things to say the least, most likely we will never know
