Sort of, it guides the boat but allows for it to raise and lower depending on water levels (or sink).
Come on dude.
Watch your mouth.
It happened between the Gorilla Camp and the African Elephants. You can see the overturned jeep in the background of some of the pictures.
The picture above in Joe's tweet shows how the ride works. I have 0 idea how this actually happened.

Can't be. They turn the wheel!
What'd he say wrong? I also wouldn't mind if it happened to me. Silver lining is being able to say "I was on the jungle cruise boat that sunk" and have that crazy experience.
I mean, you'd tell that story every single time you went to Disney.

Funny you should say that. Apparently some sort of very bad medical emergency today, with the ride not expected to reopen.
Yeah but that would actually help guests avoid injury.
OMG what if the Yeti stopped working on Everest?!
This video shows the most likely cause of the boat to sink. Seems the plate one the bench failed. In the comments he goes on to say that they gave out 20 FastPasses to each person
Nah that plat just covers up access to some machinery to the boat. The boats are completely sealed. They’d be able to free float out in the seven seas lagoon if you stuck them out there. Looks like something related to the ballast water system either clogged up or busted, releasing ballast water back into the boat rather than out the side,
Causing the flooding
