Lake George tragedy

Almost impossible to fathom what happened at Lake George, NY yesterday. I've been there so many times. I've watched the tour boats go out and come in again. So routine. So peaceful. So dull. It seems incredible that 21 people could have died on a warm, sunny autumn afternoon. Nothing I've read makes sense yet. Many tour boats operate on the lake, but they always appear to be crawling along. I just don't understand how two could have been so close that one boat's wake capsized the other.
