Tourism firm fined for accident
A New Zealand court heavily fined an adventure tourism company yesterday and ordered it to pay reparations to the family of an English woman who drowned while river boarding.
Mad Dog River Boarding pleaded guilty to two counts of negligence after Emily Jordan, 21, from the English county of Worcester, drowned in April 2008 after being trapped underwater for 20 minutes while her boyfriend watched helplessly from the river bank.
