How city folks learn about mother nature, the hard way, sometimes. Hope it ends with all being safe.
I kinda think we do the same here we just learned it a bit younger . Glad their adventure turned out ok
Where does it say where the kids are from?
Very scary situation.
When I was a teenager, I was once climbing without ropes on some cliffs near the Missouri River.
I got into a situation where I had a lot of cliff to descend with not enough light to do it safely and losing light fast (totally my fault).
I had to take a lot of crazy risk cuz I couldn’t still be on that cliff after dark. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
Getting an interview with the rescued party would be quintessentially appealing.
At a glance, ‘Good News, Teen Trapped By Rising Water’ is funny and little perplexing….
A common tourist error. I guess our schools don’t teach young invincible people about ocean tides. Don’t teach them how to write either.
Maybe if the ocean tides had a Facebook page or an Instagram the young people might know they exist?
Knot head. Please stay away from the ocean.
Unfortunate wording of the headline. However, I am glad he is OK.
Nothing wrong with the headline – you missed the brackets around “Update: Good News”.
No sense of humor???
No, just a lapse in reading comprehension by the commenter I responded to and you.
“Ben Round” pointed out the potential for humor in the headline but the commenter I responded to described the headline as “unfortunate” – which was a failure of reading comprehension, not an attempt at humor.
