Stupidity. They should have immidiately got back on the shore when they could see the water was rushing towards them. They just stood there hoping the flow would decrease, but it kept increasing. RIP

NEW DELHI - AN AMATEUR cameraman captured five members of a family being swept away by flood waters at the weekend in a deadly accident at a waterfall in central India. Local police officer P.S. Maravi said the holiday-makers were bathing below the 90m Patalpani waterfall in Madhya Pradesh state on Sunday when they were caught by a torrent of water. After hanging on to each other and clinging to support, they were swept away. Three were found dead, while two survived, the Press Trust of India news agency quoted officer Maravi as saying. Almost 200,000 people have been effected by flooding in the north-eastern state of Assam and monsoon rains have created havoc in several other states including in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtara and Uttar Pradesh. -- AFP

Its good to have fun, but then a person has got to decide - "2 mins of fun or living life". This happens all the time everywhere in the country. Unfortunately, people just don't learn. Everyone wants to go to these places when it rains, for it brings the peacock out of them. But they forget to weigh the pros and cons, the risks involved. Very sad.

Whats even more shocking is that there was a mid-aged man (probably the father) who was stuck there and if you look closely, it is he who inadvertently caused the accident. He should have not taken his children there in the first place, given the risk involved.

:sad: First time I saw a vid like this. The force of water was slow initially but in just 1-2 seconds, it became rapid.The person who fell first, dragged the rest of them as they were all holding hands. :(( RIP

That is mortifying. Cannot believe an entire family of 5 got wiped out because of a moment of laxity. And seeing them cling on to each other in the end was so poignant and depressing. :((
