Re: Nicaraguan, Former Radio Host, Drowns at Eagle Pass, Texas Trying to Reach U.S
i don't "get" drowning(unless there is heavy surf/raging current/ice cold water). i don't understand why people can't just float, or tread water indefinitely.  |

Re: Nicaraguan, Former Radio Host, Drowns at Eagle Pass, Texas Trying to Reach U.S
Caught in a whirlpool caused by the high water eddying past the bridge foundation. It looks like a horizontal whirlpool, so people with swimming skills could escape, but he was doomed. Zero swimming skills. Unable to propel himself, he churned around and was probably spat out deeper under. He was clearly unfamiliar with moving water, and probably was told by numerous people that they cross there. He is not a young man, so I don't understand why he would have been oblivious to the risk of flood water on a non-swimmer.  |

I have been to stretches of Rio Grande that could be waded across, but I was wary of even touching that nasty warm water.

why do the south american countries do lousy in the Olympics? Anyone that can run, jump or swim is already in the US.

The reporter said please don't cross because he didn't want him in his country.
