Pay special attention to the guy on the bow...

No wonder they keep boats away and clear the docks!

Don't you think there would be something about this in the news? Google turns up nothing.

But of course, it was on the Internet, so it MUST be true.

Well, the black gunboat in the middle of the river is one clue...

Exactly.

He's been using boats for years. If it was him, which I doubt, must have been some kind of mechanical problem.

83 years old... 750 hp on the transom (3 big Mercs, which is what he has on his big Donzi as I recall)... Simple loss of balance... Who knows? The black RIB standing by between him and the other boats, which are all stopped... A boating mag has published that it was him. (I guess we should wait for confirmation from Fox News.)

You're eyes are much better than mine!
It's so grainy - how can you tell it's an armed escort boat?

I can tell it's a RIB, dark colored... I see them all the time around NYC, the Groton sub base, etc... BTW, here's GHWB on his boat (a GIF, so I can't image it here) and the black RIB:
