(一)游玩翻船,女孩奋力营救家人
Kiana French remembers having fun fishing with her father and younger sister Sunday afternoon and, the next minute, struggling to stay afloat in the freezing water. Their 12foot boat had been taking on water, little by little, and the wind was picking up. Her father, Gary French, was operating the engine, while Kiana, 16, was in the middle with Cierrah, her sister, frightened but still able to keep calm.
Kiana asked Cierrah to take off one of her cowboy boots, with which she got some of the water out. Hard as she tried, that little effort would not help stop the boat sinking. Moments later, the unthinkable happened. The boat filled up with water and then it flipped over dramatically and Kiana and her sister were in the water. Their father, who had had a surgery six months ago, managed not to be thrown into the water but seemed to have great pain in the chest due to the sudden change.
Kiana quickly put on her life jacket and saw Cierrah’s and her father’s life jackets dropping
into the water and floating away. She reacted quickly to grab them and dressed her sister in one. They were so far out in the middle of the lake that they could not see the shore clearly. What’s worse, it was getting harder to stay above the waves. Their father swam over and hugged his two girls, Cierrah crying silently. Kiana heard her beloved sister murmured in panic, “I can’t feel my feet.”
Kiana knew the only effective plan was to get to shore herself and find help. She calmed her nerves, exchanged a concerned glance with her father, turned round and swam as hard as she could toward the shore without delay.
Fighting against the strong currents and cold wind, she screamed urgently for help at the top of her lungs every three minutes or so. A strong wind blew, and she looked back only to see her sister’s and father’s heads bobbing in the water. She was on the edge of desperation, thinking her sister and dad were dead, because she was taking too long.
