Remembering the Ethan Allen

What really happened when the tour boat Ethan Allen sank in Lake George, N.Y., last October, killing 20 people? Reporter Jeff Seidel and photographer Amy Leang of the Detroit Free Press presented a five-part series this week that examines what went wrong on that picture-perfect day and how the tragedy has affected the survivors and the people who rescued them. Part 5, which ran today, is a beautifully written example of how a story about one person can say so much about life. Thanks to Brian Summers for recommending this series.
