Yes I was thinking the very same thing, I hadn't seeing this episode of forensic files, I enjoyed watching it but I'm really for young man loosing his life, I lost my son my only child to disease few years ago and still cry every day. His mother will be crying for rest of her life.

[@megannason3649]

Definitely these guys were going too fast in the dark, but the victim boat had no lights on and had drifted into the lane of travel, so they were partially at fault. If the first boat had actually stopped and figured out what they had hit, they probably wouldn’t have even been charged or anything.

[@Rye-jl2fk]

If they were past the legal limit of intoxication, they're still getting charged with something. I think they fled the scene because they were drunk and knew they would be in some kind of trouble but no one can prove that, so the punishment was appropriate.

[@ScarabChris]

Life long boater here, Miami Florida area so I have seen a lot of crashes and stories of horrible crashes especially at night. So no propeller damage, a prop can be changed in a matter of a few mins even while in the water. Blood in suspect boat did not match the victims....well it wouldn't since the suspect boat ran right over the top of the victim boat. Any of the victims blood would only be on the bottom of the suspect boat but washed off in a matter of 2 seconds once the boat lands from the collision. The lack of victim blood in the suspect boat and no damage to suspect boat propeller should not even be considered a reason to eliminate the suspect boat. That being said the cause of this crash was no lights on the victim boat, that is #1. The 2nd catalyst was running your boat at night when you can't see in front of you. If it's dark you only drive as fast as you are comfortable with hitting something at the chosen speed. The suspect boat could just as easily of hit a log or a dock or a jetty causing injury and death to themselves. Just look at the Florida Marlins baseball player that crashed his boat in Miami at night. Even if you know the waters like the back of your hand you do not run at speed if you can't see at least 50 yards in front of you. That goes for daytime as well in the event of a rain storm. Of course being drunk makes you think you are invincible. But I have seen crashes like this when everyone was sober. Very poor choices made by both parties. Drifting at night in a navigational area with no lights on is nuts. Makes my hair stand up just thinking about it. All it takes is a bit of inexperience from a stone cold sober boater to turn that quiet night into a nightmare.

[@gurkanco2208]

I can not help but hate those crap-type of living organisms in the form of a human being. How irresponsible you got to be drunk-riding a boat in the dark, when you can not see where you are going. She is very lucky for surviving that crash.

[@Myspace1986]

I know absolutely nothing about boats, never been on one other then the Chichimaun. But I still know that at night time to keep lights on for your safety sake and others as well.

[@ipdmetal]

The victim was also at fault for not turning his lights on and not tying his boat to the dock. But I also recognize that you could still get hurt even if you have done the proper safety protocol if another boat with a severely impaired driver crashed straight into you. In this case, the other boat driver, Floyd Wright made the fatal mistake of driving a boat in dark waters while inebriated. Both sides made a fatal mistake.

[@smgp2023]

True, the victim not knowledgeable enough to ride a boat and the suspects for not coming forward to the police after the accident etc.

[@apointtomake1517]

They were also driving too fast without being able to see. They should not have been going as near as fast. If you are just aiming your boat at a light source but cant see, you should be crawling around, not near top speed.

[@prorespluscom]

Excellent, fair analysis

[@JR-fl3yx]

Agreed. It sucks the guy died, but he was (at least partially) at fault for not having his nav lights on.

[@johnnabuzby6103]

Operating a car or boat while you're drunk, as well as going too fast for the conditions under which you're operating is also irresponsible. Both parties made poor choices, not just the victim of the collision.

[@imtryinghere1]

Very stupid to have no lights on. Any boater knows this

[@ThisIsJ.Nicole]

Safety is utmost importance in these kinds of situations but so is honesty.

[@tikibar1169]

She’s very lucky to be alive. Did the boat that hit them have lights on!? 2 boats at night with no lights, smh

[@synergisticcollusion134]

The boat that hit them did have their lights on.

[@ScarabChris]

Just to clear up the idea that there is no way you can hit a boat and think you hit a log so let me share a story of my own. I had a 30' Scarab (hence my username) which is a "go-fast" boat with twin engines. My wife and I were running offshore in Miami at about 45 MPH. It was a clear beautiful day. All of a sudden I see in the water in front of me an object floating. It was to late I was hitting it. The object was a dock piling which is basically the same wood poles used for telephone/power poles. It was floating with 90% of the mass under the surface. When I hit this pole my entire boat went airborn just like you saw in the reenactment in this video where the blue boat goes airborn. My boat was 30+ feet in length and weighs 6000+ pounds and at 45 MPH the boat got a good 4-5 feet of air before coming down. I did some minor damage to my hull and engines but not enough to rush to shore. So it is entirely possible to hit a small boat at that speed and not know if it were a massive log, a dock piling or a 18' boat. Especially in the pitch black waters and no lights on the boat you hit. The only thing I don't believe is that the boaters stopped but saw and heard nothing. They did. I went back to see what I hit and was amazed it was only a 10' length of dock piling. It felt like a ramp!

[@jamesstreet228]

Ive done the exact same thing with 2 friends and we hit a log and it almost threw all 3 of us out of the boat. We lost 2 rod and reels and a 22 pistol. And, obviously hitting a smaller boat the bigger boat is going to push the smaller one down which will absorb some of the energy. I 100% believe they could have not known what they hit. Whether they heard the screams of the girl, who's to say? She could have been unconscious or stunned and not started screaming until they left. It's all speculation of course but it's also speculation that they could have heard the girl screaming. I was in the US Navy for 6 years. We were in dense fog once and the fog horn sounding up front would rip your ear drums out. But, on the fantail you couldn't even hear it at all. Sound travels different over open water.

[@Mandy-nt2cs]

What is that Journalist talking about ? 'Being intoxicated shouldn't be a way out' blabla.. what do you mean? Anyone could & probably would have hit a boat, in the dark.. that was sitting still with no lights in the middle of a boating lane. 1. People on shore that heard her yelling didn't have the sound of the wake & a boat motor in their ear. 2. They aren't placing ANY blame on the victim for putting himself & his passenger in danger by not tying up the boat & not having lights on. Would it be someone's fault if they came around a corner at night and hit a car parked in the middle of the road? No.

[@leeannfrohn88]

This is a great example why rules should be followed by everyone!

[@molara7607]

Regardless if they were drunk any sober person would’ve still hit them. Their lights were OFF.

[@JasonFlorida]

Exactly!

[@nicholasshade]

My brother just came here and asked for one of my dad's cigarettes. I gave him one. He said he was late for work and would probably run out of gas. ⛽ He said he would probably syphon some gas from our lawnmower. I'm watching Forensic File's. I couldn't go back to sleep after my dog woke me up. He was digging through our trash. I let him stay in for a little while, but had to take him outside. Because he started acting up. The backdoor was wide open. I missed the live stream I go into over magic. It's very upsetting. I've missed like 5 or 6 sessions. I've only been to 1 meeting.💛

[@nickcopeland6915]

Just a thought. Maybe Nazreen was stunned for a while and didn't start screaming until Floyd was gone.

[@tiffaninichole]

My thoughts too. Not an excuse, but definitely the thought I had!

[@zakariafarah1101]

That could have been a possibility if she was not struck but her arm was shredded by the propeller

[@Johnieboi]

The people on the boat that got hit were mostly to blame for the accident. The other guys shouldn’t have left the accident scene.

[@beyondthedetails]

Sometimes these cases are ridiculous. Once they saw the lights where not on on the Boat and they are in the "Boat Lane" they are at fault.

[@timhinchcliffe5372]

Happens alot in shipping channels... the sole occupant of a yacht goes to bed (nautical law broken: nobody on watch) and the yacht drifts into a shipping channel... gets hit by a container ship. Yacht occupant plays victim because the ship "didn't stop." In reality, a ship that size _can't_ stop in a shipping channel or they will drift and run aground.

It was the middle of the night and they shouldn’t have been driving their boat while intoxicated and at those ridiculous speeds.

[@clumsytriangle2436]

this sounds like BS. It was an accident, and the victim was reckless. He didn't tie up his boat or put lights on. and the detective seems to think he knows what the situation was when the collision happened and straight after, saying he can't believe they couldn't hear the woman's screams. I don't believe the woman was even able to scream immediately after the collision.

I’m from a commercial fishing family, so both sides made mistakes & it’s awful, but ownership on both sides should be acknowledged. A Sad case; both are at fault & it’s at such a cost.

I missed the start be having the tap on in my kitchen, and the entire time I was thinking “but did they have their lights on..” because so many boating accidents are due to night driving without lights! Then at 17:00 it says they didn’t have their lights on. This accident is horrible, but other boaters cannot see you if you don’t have your lights on- whether they are intoxicated or not. It’s like driving a car at night on a highway without your lights on. He should’ve reported the accident right away though,

[@jamesl9371]

Because it was with mitigating factors: the victim's boat lights were not on.

It wasn't intentional and the victim, Harry Uhl, didn't have his lights on and the boat was drifting so it was his fault too.

[@kagomefan101]

The victim’s lights were off, yes, but so were the offending boat’s. And there is absolutely NO excuse to be driving drunk. And even if they couldn’t see what they hit, they HAD to have heard the girl screaming her head off. They should’ve stopped or at least reported it right away. I can’t believe some people are actually placing all the blame on the victims. 🤦‍♀️

@@linkfreak1176Well, Wright’s boat was going at dangerous speeds and he, along with Jon, were intoxicated with very little to no lighting, at least, judging by the reenactment.

[@pb-gf9rc]

At no point in the entire episode did they say that the offending boat’s lights were off goofball

[@kevinsysyn4487]

I'm surprised he was convicted and sentenced to prison. There really was little concrete evidence of criminality (though it appears obvious). No evidence that he was drunk or negligent (though he may have been). Emotional claims he would have heard screams seem doubtful as the sound of his own engine and the speed tells me he was likely quite a long distance away by the time anyone screamed. And it was dark. Evidence that he knew he hit a boat is also lacking, though one policeman said he would have seen the boat in his lights is not evidence. The victim may well have been the negligent one. Reasonable doubt.

[@gunzakimbo]

The dude got 4 years in prison. Even if the victims' were negligent (Which they were) I'm going to assume not having your lights on is as negligent as drinking while driving a boat to which they admitted doing (Also while driving with a suspended license). They're clearly lying about turning around cause you have to assume if the friends don't call medical personal immediately the girl's dead as well from blood loss so the friends would've seen them coming back to check what they hit (Speculation, but fairly confident in my conclusion). The cops only got to him from his friend reporting the accident AND he also tried to hide evidence by fixing the boat. With our corrupt system, this dude could've easily got charged with vehicular manslaughter with leaving the scene as well and got decades if not life! He's lucky beyond belief that they only got him with tampering with physical evidence and failing to report an accident.

Common sense is tie off the boat or use a couple lines and stand on the dock . Why was he traveling so fast? Isnt there a no wake zone there? I would think so with docks around there? Unless he really drifted far out? There both guilty the jerk that left and unfortunately the novice boat owner .nobody wins and honestly he took off because he was legally drunk Guaranteed!! 4 years isn't enough?

It looks like Uhl may have either had a little too much alcohol in his veins or no prior experience in navigation, because his mistakes are not easy to explain. just as important as knowing if the perpetrators were drunk was to know the distance Uhl's boat drifted apart from the shore at the time of the collision.

[@GIJoe3333]

Harry Uhl made two big mistakes: One, not tighting up his boat and left it drift apart; and Two, not having the lights on in his boat. Big mistakes that costed this young, good looking man his life. As far as for Nazreen Raza, it is a miracle she survived even though she was left with a deformed arm for the rest of her life. When Otto Ottenschott said they didn’t see the boat, most likely he was right being at night and Harry’s boat not having the lights on. It was a very dark night without the moon shining over the lake which could have helped these 2 people see the boat. A tragic case of a young man losing his life by a boat accident which turned deadly. The driver of the boat was only charged for not reporting the accident receiving only 4 years in prison. I believe the jury saw the mistakes that Mr. Uhl made and de used it was a “boating accident” and not a premeditated attempt to kill someone. May Harry Uhl Rest in Peace always 🙏

The two perpetrators have those creepy dead eyes. Seeing ghosts?

[@karmayt8956]

I don’t see why you wouldn’t admit hitting a boat without lights floating where it shouldn’t be?

here is some other video that points out some details that were missed

common sense can go a long way.

[@amateurauthor1402]

there should not have been a case at all, because they were both at fault. the other guy didn't have his lights on, so what were they doing that the guy didn't have his lights on.

I know little to nothing about boats and while I will agree that Harry should’ve put the lights on his boat, I guess that since it was the middle of the night and for all we knew, they probably didn’t hear/ see anything while on the lake and riding to the dock. It was a poor choice but he still didn’t deserve to die that young and especially in that manner. Wright really shouldn’t have been driving that boat while intoxicated especially at those ridiculous speeds. I will say I’m somewhat proud that Jon called in the accident and owned up. He should’ve done it as soon as it happened but at least he owned up to it while others from similar cases vehemently deny any involvement despite they were. I hope Nasreen Raza along with her family and Harry’s family is doing okay today and that Harry himself is resting in peace. RIP Harry Uhl, others who knew him that’d passed and Peter Thomas

Now Harry RIP was not blameless for letting the boat drift also.

Man idk about this one guys I love forensic files but I’m pretty sure a sober person wouldn’t see an unlit boat in the dark. Maybe they were going to fast I guess but sadly the victim play a huge role in his accident.
