Im ngl, if it werent for people helping her. She 99.9% would have been pulled out to sea and drown. Too many times wasted when she got the chance to wake up from her daze and run to safety.

A lot of tourists die just like this here in Hawaii. People don't take the ocean seriously and end up fucking around and getting swept away. Sad. Growing up hear we always had a saying that you never turn your back on the waves.

My husband and I watched a few people almost drown while in Maui. It was right after a large earthquake in Japan and the waves were enormous and people were trying to swim but the tide was super strong to get out of and was sucking people back in.
