The Indoor Wake Park was to be a feature attraction at the 50th annual Atlanta
show, providing an environment where consumers could watch professional
wakeboarders perform a variety of stunts. The tank collapsed as exhibitors
finalized their displays, spilling what was described as a "wall of water
two feet high" cascading through the show floor, flooding displays and
briefly floating some boats.
Show Manager Larry Berryman notes that no one was injured, and the cause for
the tank rupture is still to be determined. Clean-up crews quickly cleaned up
the flood and the show opening was delayed by only four hours, welcoming the
first consumers at 3:00 pm.
CBS Atlanta was on-scene shooting a news report on the boat show when the tank
ruptured - click
