Dozens Tossed Into Texas Lake As Party Boat Overturns

POSTED: 7:35 a.m. EDT May 3, 2004
AUSTIN, Texas -- All the passengers of a party barge that overturned in a Texas lake have been accounted for. The barge turned over and sank Sunday in Lake Travis, where the water is at least 50 feet deep. There were 60 people on the boat -- two received minor injuries.

Witnesses told authorities all the people on the boat moved to one side as it approached a lakeside park called Hippie Hollow. It has the only public nude beach in Texas. The Austin American-Statesman reports in its online edition that the barge flipped over during Splash Day, a semiannual event hosted by the gay and lesbian communities.

They all moved to one side of the boat in order to attempt the Tommy Lee trick of honking the boat horn.

Just before the boat rolled over, witnesses say they saw this huge hand descend from the clouds and tip the heeling boat onto its side. A few seconds later, a loud rolling sound - it was probably thunder, but one little old lady down vistin' from Archer City said it sounded like 'boo-yah'- came from the sky, straight overhead.
