14 people on a 22ft boat.

If only they had taken a boating safety class all of this could have been avoided.

Personal rants aside, how tragic for these people. Prayers for the families and those lost.

One of the things empasized in a Safe Boating Class is dont exceed the limits on the capacity plate
The capacity plate tells the operator the maximum load capacity of the vessel
in both people and pounds
