if youre gonna read this, read the whole thing.

I dont really know why I'm posting this, just i feel like letting some anger out. So anyways, i go to this summer camp for about 7 weeks every summer. Its not a big camp, and everyone is pretty close with eachother there. The counselors get a "day off" every week where they can leave the camp in the adirondacks and go wherever they want. Most of them go to this place called split rock. Anyways, it had rained a ton that summer, and it was the last day of camp. It was august 12th 2003, the day before camp ended. These 4 guys who were really close with me, were screwing around eating lunch on one of the rocks. One of them got up to ask what time they were staying until, and he fell into the water. Normally, it wouldnt be a big deal that he fell in, but since it rained so much, the water was rushing so hard that someones body doesnt even float in the water. So everyone didnt realize he was struggling to stay afloat. Then, they saw, and the other 3 jumped in. Everyone else was at another spot not too far down, and we all rushed over there. Someone had called 911, and they arrived there about the same time that the cops did. Most of the counselors are about 20 years old, and these counselors were about the same age. When everyone got there, there was nothign they could do, and they couldnt stay afloat any longer. All 4 of them drowned. That night the other counselors came back and we knew something was wrong. Usually counselors come back wasted and fuck around with us, but everyone was just not talking. They decided to tell us at an all camp meeting, and just hearing th camp director say they drowned was so painful. Its so weird thinking about how 2 minutes before they left i was talking to them about how they should have a kick ass time on there last day off. I was only 12 then, so i didnt understand as much as now about what happend as i do now. I dont want anyone replying calling me a faggot or gay, just because i really cared abotu and looked up to these guys. RIP Adam Cohen, Dave Altschuler, Jonah Richman, Jordan Satin
 
I work at a summer camp which is the same situation, we stay for 9 weeks and get a day off a week, so I know how close everybody is. If it was one of my friends that fell in, I might have done the same thing without thinking. Sorry to hear about your loss, and RIP guys.
 
oh and by the way, if anyone wants to tell one of their own stories here feel free, cause ill listen, and if you think im a faggot for posting this bulletin, you dont need to send me messages (cough cough) about how gay i am. It was a really big loss to me and most people who have a heart would understand
 
Very harsh man... loss is never easy to deal with. RIP to them, and good vibes to their families and friends.
 
ya i know how it is to loose some one my grand father past away in mid may this year and it fucking sucks i just like coudnt focus on school and at the time i was 13 i know what it feels like to loose people but not that many at one time im so sorry man RIP to all people who have died
 
That sucks dude.

Although youd be surprised to see how many people die when they jump in to save friends/family in rivers etc.

About 3 hours from Melbourne (Australia), theres this pretty rough beach called Gunnamatta. A family from Melbourne cruise down there and go for a paddle, a brother gets sucked out in a rip, sister goes in to help, gets in trouble, dad follows them in and also gets in trouble. In the end 3 people from the same family ended up drowning. Pretty fuckin tragic.
