No one was hurt in the incident, but officials with the Chicago Architectural Foundation, which operates the boat tour, said they have received several angry calls from passengers demanding compensation for clothing and personal items. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has filed a lawsuit seeking $70,000 in damages against the band and the driver, alleging they violated state environmental laws. An October-dated statement on the bands Web site said that although we still do not have a definitive understanding of what happened, the band would work with affected passengers to make things right for all concerned and make $50,000 donations to the Chicago Park District and Friends of the Chicago River. The bands statement said the incident is awful and it goes against so many principles we hold dear: environmentalism, accountability, and, mostly, principles of humanity. Prosecutors said the band cooperated in the investigation, including flying violinist Boyd Tinsley, who used the bus, from California to Chicago to be interviewed and bringing the bus back to the Chicago area for inspection.
