If you are crossing a small river like this, and you feel that there is sudden increase in water level just accept the risk and leave. Don't wait in middle because you are going to die anyway.

Do you not think that perhaps there is some footage that should NOT be available for public viewing? Now the surviving family members and friends can witness the terror in their loved ones faces before they were swept to their deaths. This is a very sad news story but I do hope that if there's one 'positive' to come from it, it will show the dangers of crossing water during heavy rainfall! RIP.

That place is heavy tourist destination for local people. Many go there. Probably to avoid future accidents specially in younger crowd this case was artificially created by some means and made it viral so other youth can take a cue and make it work for them. I was forced to do labor for youth and future and today I am alive is not a gift of God rather feels like a punishment to endure because their future is more important than my sanity health or anything I possessed even in the past. I am so scared when my bad death will even give my death a way to make it work for youth or future. I have lost all hope of future..somehow I am dragging alone daily fearing whats next for us. How are they going to mentally derange us more and how will they kill us..for future.

That is a media news pattern. They pick a pattern and they show similarly patterned stories at different times in India. Like some baba also got into news again after many such cases previously. How else will media make money. Like remember Diana's car crash? Which celeb has been able to meet that level of media attention due to car crash death? No one. That one case itself proved big money for media houses. They look for stories and ideas and some stories are a pattern. Like rape case of Nirbhaya. There was a Tandoori Murder Case when we were kids. A woman was cooked in tandoor. Horrible. I was in school. When Nirbhaya happened I had passed my college. In between such things kept coming in news. It is a pattern of repetitive stories and new comes along when someone having new ideas can be caught in the trap..it takes time to build that trap.
So pity😢may the Lord grant them eternal rest.
