Desperate last words heard by mother who lost NINE relatives - including her husband and three kids - aboard Missouri duck boat, as it's claimed the captain told passengers NOT to wear life jackets
Tia Coleman is one of two people from her family of 11 who survived the duck boat tragedy on Thursday night
Her one-year-old daughter, sons and her husband died along with other members of her large family
Before the boat went down, she heard people screaming to rescue the children onboard
Others have since told that the captain knew a powerful storm was coming and changed course because of it
The duck boat was meant to go on the water at Table Rock Lake at the end of the hour-long tour
To try to avoid the storm, the captain instructed that it go on the water first but they were not fast enough
Passengers have told how he told them not to 'worry' about putting on their life jackets on the boat
Once it began to sink, the captain released the canopy of the boat which allowed some people to swim free
Seventeen people died in total, 14 survived - including the captain - and seven had to be hospitalized
