This has been airing a lot on our local news and radio stations. People were having to jump into the water to try and survive from burning and I think they're still looking for any other people that may have drowned or in the burned boats. Just sad a lot of people likely were asleep and by the time they woke up and realized what was going on the entire area is engulfed in flames. Really sad some were children too and can't imagine what was going through their minds.

Here's some local news on it as well 8 dead in Alabama boat fire: What we know today
