Why did you say they were saved?
I was there, neither were alive when brought to shore.
You don’t perform CPR on a living soul.
I pray the lifeguards and paramedics brought them back but nobody seems to know if they made it.
Marine Safety Captain told me they’re hanging on at the hospital.
My now-deceased former Mother-in-Law jumped off the end of the HB pier when she was 15. That was in 1946.
