Repost with longer video + original audio and some context.
If you're retarded like me and took a while to find the kid, he jumps into the pool by the ladder near the bottom of the clip and sinks near instantaneously, around the 16 second mark.
Context:
On August 14th, 2022, an unnamed 8yr old from the Lianyuan city of China drowned in a public pool after a minute of struggle despite the presence of others nearby. At one point, another child could be observed jumping near him, though he must've not seen his struggling as a sign of genuine distress.
There are a number of articles that mostly regurgitate the same information. The one below makes an interesting note of how children may not have the presence of mind to call out for help like adults would in that situation, and their flails to stay afloat could be taken as play. The article lists the signs of youth drowning to know when it's time to take a child out of the water.

Jane Wicker was a wing walker which is, well, what it sounds like. She walked on the wings of planes as they flew and performed tricks. On June 22nd, 2013 Jane and her pilot, Charlie Schwenker, were killed in a fiery crash.
23 seconds in and the announcer tells the crowd "Jane is going to disappear from us" ooof. How right he was.
What I've always found really interesting though about this crash is that cameras on the ground caught her exact final moment when she hit the ground. I will include some pics in a comment.

John Richard Owens (7 January 1956 – 4 November 1980) was a Welsh professional boxer who fought under the name Johnny Owen. His seemingly fragile appearance earned him many epithets, including the "Merthyr Matchstick" and the "Bionic Bantam". He began boxing at the age of eight and undertook a long amateur career, competing in more than 120 fights and representing Wales in competitions. He turned professional in September 1976 at the age of 20, winning his debut bout against George Sutton. Owen beat Sutton again in his sixth professional fight to win his first title, the vacant bantamweight title in the Welsh Area.Owen challenged for the British bantamweight title in his tenth professional fight in 1977. He defeated champion Paddy Maguire in the eleventh round to win the title, becoming the first Welshman in more than 60 years to hold the belt. Owen recorded five further victories, including a defence of his British title against Wayne Evans, before meeting Paul Ferreri for the Commonwealth bantamweight title. He defeated the experienced Australian on points to claim the Commonwealth title and challenged Juan Francisco Rodríguez for the European title four months later. The fight in Almería, Spain, was shrouded in controversy and Owen suffered his first defeat in a highly contentious decision.Owen went on to win seven consecutive bouts within a year to rechallenge Rodríguez in February 1980. He avenged his earlier defeat by beating Rodríguez on points to win the European title. He challenged World Boxing Council (WBC) champion Lupe Pintor for his world bantamweight title on 19 September 1980, losing the contest by way of a twelfth round knockout after being knocked down for the third time. Owen left the ring on a stretcher and never regained consciousness. He fell into a coma and died seven weeks later in a Los Angeles hospital at the age of 24.Owen possessed a professional career record of 25 wins (11 by knockout), 1 draw and 2 defeats. His only career losses came against Rodríguez and Pintor. He remains revered in the South Wales Valleys where he was raised, particularly in his hometown of Merthyr Tydfil where a statue commemorating his life and career was unveiled in 2002.

Before you judge the pigs, think about this "In 2019, there were roughly 1.3 billion pigs slaughtered for food globally. This means that approximately 3.5 million pigs were slaughtered every single day that year."
