I know you’re trolling, but for anyone that’s not, current events are discussed here. Doesn’t matter if it’s about someone who is local or if the live in Timbuktu. If you can’t handle that, then scroll on by. But stop trying to control what others talk about. You don’t own this website, you don’t set the rules.

"Lesser people"? Non-Kennedys?

The last three posters have done nothing but bump this thread to the top or Recent Topics. If you don't like this thread, I suggest that you don't post in it.

You’re all disgusting speculating about this. A little boy is dead. I can’t believe Jeff is allowing this thread to go on with the people easily identifiable and a grieving local family dealing with the unthinkable.

It’s a terrible accident but there’s a real lack of judgement there also. I remember that day. The wind was whipping.

Seems like the neighbor sounded the alarm at 4:49. I don't think anyone can know exactly when they got in the canoe or why.

I presume the 7 year-old told others why her mother and brother got in the canoe. An early article said she was playing ball with the kids.

It's tragic. If you don't learn anything from this, it could happen to you. We all MUST learn from the mistakes of others, or we're stupid.

Sorry, but pretending all this “analysis” is for benevolent purposes is total BS. It’s nothing but a classic DCUM “this can NEVER happen to me because,” trash dead people thread.

We learn plenty of stuff.

I installed all-weather cameras (Nests) at my front door and back doors after the Kelsey Burreth and Shanann Watts murders. The cameras (at their neighbors house and their own respectively) proved that the last people to see each of them alive were their husbands and were critical evidence in convicting both.

You can learn something from every death, even if you don't want to hear it.

Now I know the Chesapeake is absurdly dangerous. I don't know if its at all times of the year but I already wouldn't go in in Fall and Winter. I guess that leaves Summer now that Spring is out too.

That's the house. There is a small cove but it is connected to the Bay directly. The next cove to the South is Columbia Beach, where they were spotted and someone called 911.

The canoe was found near Rockhold Creek which is in the town of Deale, 5 miles away as the crow flies.

I was bored.

The house is circled, X marks the next cove, arrows are the undercurrent taking them straight out to the Atlantic ocean.

Its not for nothing that the Chesapeake Bay is known as dangerous with a strong undercurrent.

Thanks so much for this map. I envisioned a completely different cove. Would they have been playing ball on the beach based on pictures?

I was about to say the same thing - Anyone that knows the Chesapeake understands that it can get super dangerous.

I’ve been getting coastal weather advisory warnings for DC for weeks now. One story said 2 foot waves the evening they went missing.

I can’t imagine it was pleasant at all - especially as night fell.

Just one more part of the tragic sequence of events.

I have a morbid fascination with plane crashes and enjoy watching episodes of Mayday, a.k.a., Air Crash Investigation. I find it fascinating how it is often a series of unlucky events -- any one of which would have averted the crash with a different outcome -- that leads to disaster.

That said, as in this case, there is often one decision or action or inaction that is the proximate cause of the tragedy.
