5 boats sank in a Trump boat parade on Lake Travis, Texas


Texas Stein, Texas Sheriff’s Department said five boats sank during a boat parade in support of President Trump on Lake Travis on Saturday afternoon. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office said they responded to a total of 15 harassment calls, including diversification and: water-borne boats, stalled engines, capsized boats and sinking boats.

TCSO said that as of Sunday, three boats had been towed out of the water and two were sinking.

KEYE, affiliated with CBS Aust Stein, reports that the boats began to sink almost immediately after the parade began, according to the Trades County Sheriff’s Office Fees.

According to the sheriff’s department, the awakening in the water was caused by “many, many” boats on the water.

It is unclear at this time how much of the total boat was part of the parade or how many sank. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office said it was difficult to calculate the quantities, as well as how many people needed to be rescued, as many others on the lake helped before the first answers came.

KEYE spoke with the parade organizer Pacey Schwanath before the event. “In the middle of this secret thing … this is a safe, effective way that we can socially distance ourselves. We can be in groups of ten or less.”

“I think this is a silent majority, and I think it’s a safe, fun way to be able to speak, communicate and stand up for what we believe.”

As of Sunday, more than 8,000 people had marked their participation in the parade on Facebook. One attendee told KEYE that she was never worried about the crowds around the lake during the coronavirus epidemic.

“I don’t have a boat, so I want to see the parade and do my best to support our president for four more years,” said Gina Bahel of Liberty Hill.
