On September 5, 2020, several boats sank during the Lake Travis Trump Boat Parade.

I know that someone got this in another forum the other day. I have to keep my threads updated.

Lake Travis: Several boats sink at pro-Trump parade in Texas

Published 6 September 2020



The choppy water was likely caused by the large number of vessels moving closely together

Several boats have sunk on a lake in the US state of Texas during a parade to support President Donald Trump in November's election, officials say.

Authorities say the choppy water was likely caused by the large number of vessels moving closely together on Lake Travis, near the state capital, Austin.

Images showed boats with Trump campaign flags manoeuvring at close quarters.

Media say people had to be rescued from the water, but there were no immediate reports of injuries.

The event, called Lake Travis Trump Boat Parade, was organised on Facebook, and more than 2,600 people marked themselves as having attended it.
