Couple Sues Hawaii Tour Company for $5M

Post by kangarunner »

They're saying they were in the ocean snorkeling and then when the water got turbulent and the boat they were touring with was suddenly gone.

Wouldn't it be something if the couple had planned this as an inside job with an employee at the tour company to sue the company for a reward.
A couple is suing a Hawaii tour company for $5 million after they say they were abandoned in the ocean while snorkeling on their honeymoon.
Alexander Burckle and Elizabeth Webster went on the snorkeling trip to Lanai, a small island near Maui, in September 2021.

Then the waters got turbulent, they said. Suddenly, the boat from Maui Sail Company was gone.

So the boat just happened to leave without them and also the couple was strong enough to just happen to swim to the shore of Lanai and make it alive? Hmm....I'm suspicious.

Could be an insider job.
There were many incidents when the owner of the bar staged a fake robbery so he and his hired actors can share the business insurance money.

Eh, a boat leaving divers stranded at sea is known to be more common that most people might think.
