[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many people from the US really don't realize how lucky they have it here. 
Most parts of the world are very dangerous by comparison, and life is cheap. [/quote]
Even in the safest part of the world, someone wandering off drunk at 4 am could drown.[/quote]

"She and this person went for a swim and were caught by a big wave, the police report said."

National U.S. media coverage isn't going to help anything.[/quote]

Don’t most people teach kids that the ocean is a wild place and only get in the water when it’s guarded. [/quote]

Why didn't this person tell everyone what happened?[/quote]

Right!  If they died then that should be a story also.  If they lived and they didn’t report it, that is suspicious.

If the other person was another college student why aren’t we hearing about that?  If it was a local what was she doing by herself with them and why did her friends let her do that?[/quote]

I think part of the problem is the way our news media covers stories. They tell you very basic details to get you interested but not all of the relevant facts. This morning I was listening to the today show and they said authorities were working with the person who they believe is the last person she was with which is someone she was taking a walk with between 3 and 5 AM. He is supposed to be the last person she was with and they’re working to validate his story.

And to the person asking why people don’t know about the ocean. Do you think she was out for an early morning stroll at 3 AM?  Hell no they’ve been up all night drinking and who knows what else. Judgment is clouded. I myself went skinny-dipping in the middle of the night in a foreign country in college and I’m lucky to be alive! What an idiot I was at 20 and drunk. [/quote]
