Brothers and sisters generally never learn to swim. This is a known fact, unfortunate that they were not taught at a young age. Teach your children to swim so as they grow up in life, they wont fear the water.
I'm just confused. I understand that all were elderly, but the gangway goes down and 7 of those people pretty much drown instantly? One witness said that they heard it go down and turned around to see bodies floating…how is this possible? Not one of those seven splashed around for a minute, giving time for someone to put out their hand? Not one of the seven could swim…not even dog paddle? From the video, it's not as if people were thrown violently into the air…it was simply a collapse of maybe a 5 ft drop with one end still attached so basically they would have slid into the water. If a person can't swim, they have no business anywhere near water but I want to know how seven ended up instantly dead and that answer will never come.
My first cousin's husband was the Chaplain that was killed. He was 77 but actively mobile and could swim. I just talked with him in August. Chaplain Dr. Charles L Houston will be greatly missed. I knew him since my teen aged years I am now 72 he was a great kind, loving person.. Charles I will miss you.
God please be with them ❤🙏
Culturel affair?
Sad😢
Next year maybe there will be a limit on how many people using the "NEW" gangway at one time … Maybe … Perhaps? ….
Sending my condolences to all families of the victims 🙏
More overdramatized acting of "the news." Nothing remotely "real" comes across in this delivery and it sounds like a scripted skit.
This breaks my heart All of these beautiful elders, and their stories, gone in a sea of tears.
Such a massive and devastating loss 😢
No matter the age people please take swimming lessons, I learned at age 67. Please learn water safety❤. My heart goes out to everyone 🙏🏾
So sorry for the loss and glad that the rest of the people are safe.
Please pray for everyone affected.🙏
Very sad.
gee, I feel for these people, but if you are reporting, get the name correct.
A sad day for sapelo island. A concrete docking area should be built with all the tax money that is avaìlable in georgia .
People who refuse to learn to swim should stay away from the water. Old folks too
So they drowned and were not Killed!
The incident is real but the headline is a LIE!

Jesus!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Bet the structure issues was too many people at the same time on the gangway. There is a weight limit on those things.
too much pork in one place

If Trump was president of the US, this dock collapse would have never happened.
😢😢😢😮
Same thing happened in St. Marys several years ago. Most of these ramps are never checked even after a hurricane impacts the area.
😢praying for their souls and family. All senior citizens
