I broke my arm yesterday, so you may be correct.
As Adrian Monk would say, "This was murder".
Cause this really does seem like one.
Last year i had a summer job working some docks on a river for the county, it was a very large and powerful river but locals still swim in it from time to time. One day during the beginning of the day there was a small group of people upstream by a major bridge, near the base by the water. I was just sitting in the gator (worktruck) and ive seen mexicans go out and fish and crab by the water so i thought nothing of it. Then a police boat came up past the docks and went toward them. Now the police boat would come every once in a while every couple days or so, so again thought nothing of it, i didnt get any instructions from them via walkie talkie so i kept with my job. Then more boats came, a fire boat and a small crew, now it looked like they were searching. I called my boss asked him if he knew anything and asked what i should do, he told me its possible someone is lost in the river and told me to keep a look out with my binoculars. I looked around in the places where the boats had passed or missed, didnt see anything. Then i wondered, what if the body had got hung up on the docks and i missed it this morning (we have found weird shit stuck to the docks, like a dead pitbull that was probably killed/left for dead in the river, this is near a shitty part of the city). I checked the docks, luckily nothing except another log or two. Now a chopper shows up flying low to search the river. Now people are taking notice and are walking to the river where i am to look on. I talked to a bunch of them, mostly because they thought i knew what was going on, and one of them told me 2 kids had gone missing a day ago. Eventually even a couple news crews came, interviewed some on-lookers, etc. Then the helicopter, after many repetitions of going up and down river, stopped in a particular spot. At this point the tide had gone down (its a tidal river) and theres a little peninsula that i can see from the docks that is just before a bend in the river that keeps me from seeing any further. The rescue crew in the small boat went underneath the chopper near the piece of land and a couple people got out into knee deep water and pulled a lifeless body of an 10-11 year old onto land and checked for vital signs. While this was going on, people on my side of the river (opposite of the body) were looking on but couldnt tell what was happening. I however had perfect sight of it with my binoculars, but as fucked up as it was to see such a thing, i couldnt look away. People started asking me what i could see, i just told em "they found the body, looks like he didnt make it" and people shook their heads and went home. Seeing the little body really fucked with me that day, seeing fucked up gross shit on the internet felt like nothing compared to that. Something about a small child like that and seeing its lifeless body first get dragged out of the water then put onto the boat and taken away was just, struck a nerve. Oh, the people i had seen by the bridge earlier that day were the ones who found the first body which then began the search for the second kid. I didnt see the first one.

just don't break your face.
[QUOTE=koeniginator;41695048]why'd you bold this
is this some important clue or something because it seems like what you'd expect?[/QUOTE]
it means they (probably) weren't swimming, but rather fell in and drowned. why he bolded it I don't know but that's why it's in the article.
It's sad that these boys drowned. I think that it should be required in school that people learn how to swim, or at least learn how to save themselves in the case they're poor swimmers regardless.
I learned how to swim when I was 3 or 4 and honed my swimming skills over my childhood.
I remember back when I was probably 10-11, I saved some kid from drowning. I was swimming around in a fairly deep pool (6-8 feet) at a water park and I guess this kid fell in or jumped in thinking he could stand up, and sank to the bottom. I had no idea the kid was even down there until he nearly pulled me under by my foot trying to climb up me like a ladder. He finally latched on to my arm and started coughing up water as I waded over to the pool edge to get him out and he ran off without a word.
I thought back on the event some years later and had an "oh shit what if he fell over dead later" thought. Because when you inhale fresh water, it causes massive tissue damage in the lungs from the cells in the lung lining trying to equalize the salinity in themselves vs. the water and will burst in droves. Even if you cough up all of the water, you now have your lungs filling up with plasma and blood, along with severely reduced oxygen absorption abilities and basically drown in your own fluids.
But I guess I'll never know what happened to the kid.
Ban ponds
ban swimming
think of the kids
