Missouri boat accident kills 17, including nine from one family


(Reuters) - Divers on Friday recovered the last bodies from the wreckage of a "duck boat" that sank on Thursday during a storm on a Missouri lake, killing 17 people, including nine members of the same family.

The World War Two-style amphibious vehicle was carrying 31 passengers including children when a storm hit Table Rock Lake outside Branson, raising waves that caused it to capsize in one of the deadliest U.S. tourist tragedies in years.
