Boat propeller kills Billionaire's son....

Having grown up around boating, we learned real fast to stay CLEAR of the boat's propeller if the engine was running. I suspect he panicked when she fell into the water and jumped right in. Should have asked the captain to KILL the engines FIRST, then jumped in to save her....

Post FloriDUH Man.....

Interesting ~ it says 'hit by a boat propeller', not hit by the same boat....

Yet again a good deed was punished .

I can only imagine the red water, I bet it looked like fishing chum .

Post Sound In The Water

Water is fairly dense so sound travels a long, long ways in it .

I dimly recall some schooling wherein it said sharks hear n more than smell , the vibrations of a human swimming are very close to those of an injured fish....

Yikes indeed .
