Why you never take your eye off the ocean, especially in a storm



Two things.  That one guy just lays there and lets the sea wash him out. Jeez, don't just give up!

Second, what a weak effort at rescue from Mr. Yellow Coat.  But at least he made an effort, unlike the cameraman/woman ( although there might not have been one).  At least the "Take Me, Jesus" dude had a wife who was willing to get in the surf to save him.   She's the only one who really comes out looking like a champ, although we can see here how people drown going in to save someone else.

Whew!

I don't speak much French, so I don't know what eventually happened, but I trust all three made it back to solid ground.

Update: the full story here.

    1. I hear tell on the internet that the person doing the camera work was handicapped in some way, which explains why they were no help.
