[B]Twenty-two members of a single family are feared drowned after a boat capsized in a lake in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, police say.[/B]
The boat, carrying 25 people, sank in Pulicat lake near the state's coast. Only three boys were able to be rescued after the incident.
The passengers were said to be picnickers who had hired the boat for a ride on the river.
Officials said the boat was overcrowded and not equipped with life vests.
Divers and rescue workers continued their search through the night, but have failed to recover any more bodies.
Boats in India are often overloaded, which leads to frequent accidents.
At least 36 people died after an overloaded boat sank in the Ganges river in India's Bihar state in October last year.
In 2009, a tourist boat carrying 76 people capsized in a lake in Kerala, killing at least 37 people.[/release]

Yeah I guess I shouldn't inspire my humor with Indian water surface crafts.

This is quite a tragedy, and I imagine it will weigh heavily on the families who lost loved ones.
If it were me, I'd be so absolutely overloaded with grief I'd probably sink into depression.

I wonder if in the hypothetical hell, there's a special place for us who make bad puns in news threads about mass deaths.
