The bad news here is that you know teenagers had cell phones. True, they could have gotten wet and therefore stopped working. But they would have notified someone of their situation if they were still alive and had functioning phones. That gives me reason to suspect the worse ..... unfortunately.

Maybe I'm stupid, I've been called worse- but how would something like this happen?

I get it and I do not understand either, but it's a bit soon to start the blame game that comes with asking that question.

Its only speculation but they may have been inexperienced like many of these youth teams are, the tourney director should not have allowed them to fish if the boat was experiencing operational problems but apparently that did not happen, so many things went wrong here.

One of the stories I read, the team had pulled the boat from the water, apparently to work on it, and then decided to try to finish the tourney. If the director did not know that they had returned to the water, I don't see how he could be blamed. (actually, I fail to see how he could be at fault either way) . The fact that they weren't reported as missing until 9pm lends itself to the thinking that they put back in w/out the director knowing they were back on the water.
Regardless, as posted earlier, this is not the time to be pointing fingers or making assumptions. It's looking like there could be three lives lost here so what would be needed is added prayers that this hasn't happened.

a few years ago,we had a similar situation in that two duck hunters were swept over the dam and drowned on Lake Seminole...there were three of them in a boat and two got out and were floating on tubes on the grass flats above the dam.....the guy running the boat took off to scout some other areas of the lake and while he was gone,they apparently opened the gates on the dam and created enough current to suck the two guys over the dam....
duck hunting using tubes on the various shallow flats on Seminole is a common practice and there is usually no problem doing it because there is usually little or no current....if memory serves me correct,there was a bunch of rain upriver and they opened the gates to take care of the water headed downstream...
as sad as this situation is,there's going to a lesson learned from it and that is being near these dams can be dangerous if they open up the flood gates and you are in a kayak,canoe,tube or in a boat with an engine that won't crank up and get you away from the spillways...
