KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Ripley’s Entertainment, Inc., owner-operator of the Branson, Missouri duck boat that outrageously and recklessly killed 17 victims and injured 14 others, today issued an insulting and insensitive statement about its callous and calculated lawsuit – citing an 1851 Federal limitation of liability maritime law – demanding that it pay not a penny of damages for the July 19, 2018 duck boat disaster.

Tia Coleman, whose husband Glenn and children, Evan, Reece and Arya drowned while with her on the duck boat stated, “Ripley’s legal claim that my husband and children are worthless is incredibly hurtful and insensitive.
