Deli Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Usually people don't jump out of a plane, if they can't fly. Whey the hell do they go into the ocean if they can't swim ? Must be a genetic deficit in this population, as they haven't been the 1st to try - and die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even good swimmers can easily be drowned if the sea conditions are totally against them. I would say they were swept offshore by a strong rip and if there were decent sized waves it,s sayonara !

They get knocked off their feet, dragged out quickly and panic. Plus if you can't swim or even tread water it's all over in seconds! There are many people, most of Asia can't swim, not even enough to save themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farcanell Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Freedom beach..... I suppose they found their freedom, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandemara Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 IAuthorities' statements sound so certain these poor buggers violated red flags and other safety precautions, it suggests someone saw them entering dangr zones. Where were the rescue boats or other equipment necessary at any popular swimming spot to save people from their own ignorance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
