A speed boat on Shuswap Lake actually lands inside the house boat.

Unfortunately not everyone survived this time - the owner and captain of the house boat dead and twelve injured.

How more didn't die is beyond me.

Experts are now looking into the boating accident determining cause.

Here's a quick video. 

"If you watch the video in the link above, pay attention to the expert rein act with his hands at 1:04. I think he's gesturing that the speed boat the house boat out by cranking the wheel both starboard and portside - which would end up faking both boats out..."

Those are just my thoughts.
