Talk about a bad day, he survived though... Why do so many weird things happen in Florida?

That's effing amazing. The plant operator, of course, has the corner on sympathetic PR person.

This happened in 1989 as well.

Can you sue someone for your own ignorance?

Le Cun told CNN affiliate WPTV that he and a friend saw the yellow buoy that day and large submerged silhouettes underneath. They decided to see what was down there."I am 100% positive that there were no signs on the buoy," he said. "I know that because my boat was tied to that buoy."

Yellow buoys. Yellow represents caution on these buoys. Usually meaning to stay away from them. They are used to indicate pipes, dredge lines, traffic schemes, an isolated danger. They do not usually indicate which side to leave them on. Reading the chart may tell you their significance if they are marking a permanent hazard such as a shoal area. Yellow buoys, if lighted, will flash a yellow light. The rule for yellow buoys: Stay away.

Also, tying up to any navigational buoy is prohibited under the rules of the road.

True. But even Sovereign Citizens know the rules are different in Admiralty Court

That's why they were out on the waters without an Admirals Captains patent.
