Buncrana tragedy: Man tells of saving baby from drowning tragedy

Someone please give his man a medal !

[dieseldick]

he def deserves it.

[mikey4444]

The water must have been freezing. I am a moderate swimmer and I'm not sure if I would have put my own life at stake here, but hope I would.

[melv16]

What a tragic story.

[marval]

Well done to him, and the father for passing his baby out.

[jourdain2]

I completely agree, mikey. According to the witness this chap was very nearly spent by the time he got the baby back safely. I am very surprised that no-one else got out.

[Prudie]

This is such a shocking story, it's difficult to imagine how terrifying it must have been. Can't quite work out how they couldn't get out either.

[Mamyalynne]

What a tragic case and bless that young man.

[Peter Pedant]

why or how did they all drown ?

car drives into sea doesnt automatically mean they all die

one was stuck according to one report
but there were another four and there are always teh windows

[tonyav]

The car skidded on algae apparently.

i am presuming that the car had electric windows and they may have seized up?

[jourdain2]

I hadn't thought of the electrics, sinderella. Perhaps a good pointer that humans need to be in control.
