That is sad🙏 My dad saved my life when I was 8 at the same spot in 1965 while he was scuba diving. I have had great respect for the power of moving water ever since.

Sad people don’t realize how dangerous these rivers are 😢

A river is a giant rip current...you can't swim back to where you got swept away... people panic and try to get back to where they were...its a natural reaction to panic when you're getting swept away... just remember control your fear and flow with the current with your head above water and you'll get out ok... just have to walk back....
