Take the names out of it and I think there would be some different reactions to this crash.
Examples:
Drinking always comes up in these type of threads, why not here? An operator runs into a breakwater at night and leaves the boat there and the knee jerk reaction is that the operator was drunk.
Common sense, why where people boating in these conditions?
Who’s at fault? Operator error? Mechanical?
Could this have been avoided?
All due respect to the deceased and their families but 2 people lost their lives here, families/friends lost loved ones. There has to be some lessons learned from this in addition to accountability.

Perhaps the lesson is simply to remember that these things can happen to anyone. You can never be so skilled, knowledgeable, or prepared as to completely eliminate the possibility of finding yourself in danger.
(ps. How does one undo a "thank you"? )
