Liberty times 準研究生溺水 救生員面前漂走 (Graduate Student Drowns -- floats off in front of lifeguard)
準研究生吳瑞偉昨天下午和同學一起到台北縣白沙灣海水浴場戲水,不慎漂離安全水域,現場救生人員緊急下水救人,但吳生已漂至數十公尺外,搜救人員進行海空搜索,吳生的家人也趕到,但至深夜尚未尋獲。
22歲的吳瑞偉就讀中原大學四年級,日前才剛順利考上多所研究所,昨天下午和10多名同學從學校到白沙灣玩,下午2時許,因當時正逢退潮,不太會游泳的吳生與另一名不知名男子,一起漂到浴場安全警戒線外。
apparently the 4th-year student (who couldn't swim very well) and a classmate drifted past the rope cordoning off the safe area and ended up going tens of metres out to sea
very different from when i intentionally stepped past the very same rope, and was immediately reprimanded by two lifeguards blowing whistles and demanding i return, one who waded over and one who arrived by canoe
救生員馳援 浪大來不及
現場救生員發現異狀後,先吹哨子警告,2人仍繼續向外漂,救生員趕緊跳下水,先救起距離較近的男子,另名救生員游向15公尺外的吳生時,因浪大,只能眼睜睜看著他越漂越遠。
北縣消防局及海巡單位據報,出動橡皮艇、巡艇及水上摩托車趕到現場搜尋,空中勤務總隊也支援直升機在上空搜尋,卻已經看不見他的蹤影。
吳生的爸爸、姊姊等家人聞訊都趕來,帶著吳生的衣服在沙灘上哭喊,要他快回來,吳生的10多名同學則在岸上哭成一團。
吳瑞偉的阿姨哭著說,吳瑞偉有心律不整的毛病,平時功課很好,最近才同時考上多所研究所,這幾天放假在家,昨天說要到學校,沒想到會和同學一起到海邊。
according to a lifeguard trainer i interviewed for an article a few years back, around 800 people drown each year in taiwan at swimming pools, rivers, lakes and sea shores
