Kettle River “tubing” deaths senseless

RIVERS -- A tragic season on the region's rivers seems to have no end.

See this sobering video report about floats -- in their 70s no less -- who dropped their guard, misjudged the power of the Kettle  River last week, and went over the falls near Grand Forks.

No lifejackets -- as we've reported in almost every case of a drowning this year.
