Human Chain Saves 9 Drowning People - UpliftingNews002steemCreated with Sketch.

Going to the beach should be fun. It usually is if a powerful riptide doesn't pull your family deep into the ocean.  That's what happened recently on a beach in Florida.  6 members of the same family and 3 others were dragged by the ocean.  Luckily the Human Spirit prevailed.  Bystanders formed a human chain of over 80 people and saved the drowning beach-goers. Win!

    Now that is cool. I lived in Florida a few years - those riptides can be vicious.

    I'm glad you got to enjoy the beach safely! Hopefully no human chains were formed for you :D
