The final moments of a British grandmother who drowned on holiday in Egypt have been caught in a devastating video showing her being flung off a banana boat.

Janice Bowles' daughter screamed ‘She's dead, she's dead' as she pleaded with her mum to wake up after the boat flipped and sent passengers "flying in different directions."

The 58-year-old had been on a Thomas Cook trip to Hurghada with her two daughters and other family members when tragedy struck on August 28.

Footage, taken by the family, shows her on the inflatable with a group of five others as they are towed by a boat in the sea.

Mum-of-two Ms Bowles, from Bristol, can be seen sat at the front behind daughter Hannah Barcroft, 36.

In the clip, the driver encourages the group to wave their hands in their air - something Ms Bowles does not do - before the boat picks up speed and flips on its side.

Screaming, shouting and pleading for help, daughter Hannah then watched in horror as her mother gasped for breath.

Incident captured on CCTV and shared on social media, a young boy nearly drowned in a private pool in Hua Hin after slipping out of his inflatable ring.

The video shows a group of children playing in the pool, including the victim's older brother and their friends. Initially, no one noticed the young boy's struggle as he submerged silently. The danger was only noticed when one of the children alerted the group.

Parents, engaged in conversation by the poolside, were oblivious to the unfolding drama until a shout from one of the older children altered them to incident. The video reveals a quick-reacting boy diving into the water to rescue his younger brother, pulling him to the surface just in time.

A family member immediately administered first aid, which helped to expel water from the child's lungs and airways. The prompt action restored the boy's breathing, and he regained consciousness, though he complained about feeling pain with each breath.

The child was rushed to Hua Hin Hospital, which the child's parents said was commendably equipped and staffed. The doctors' quick assessment and treatment were crucial; an X-ray confirmed his lungs were filled with water, necessitating a night in the ICU. Fortunately, his condition stabilized, and after a three-day hospital stay, he fully recovered without further complications.

Moral of the story: Watch your kids, bruh.

This is one of my absolute favorite 911 calls. The dispatcher shows so little regard for human life and at one point mocks her, it's just absolutely crazy.

Deborah Stevens had been delivering newspapers when she was caught in a dark area in between two apartment complex buildings and swept out to the river that was just on the other side. The dispatcher continuously lectured her how dare she be driving in water as Deborah pleaded for her life.

The water had moved so quickly it was already up to her windows and she was unable to open the doors because of the pressure.

Some time in 2013 a couple in Yemen decided to celebrate their marriage with a swim in a lake, despite the fact that neither of them know how to swim. After setting up a camera to film what should've been an enjoyable time, would end up capturing their deaths. Around 3:28 the husband slides down a steep dropoff in the lake and starts drowning, he attempts to save himself by grabbing his wife for support, only to cause her to drown as well.

Sorry about the low quality.

A woodworker decides to go into the Niagara River to retrieve a piece of wood. Despite signs all over warning people not to swim.

After a shocking incident at the port of Piraeus, the Prosecutor's Office in Piraeus has ordered the arrest of the deck officer and the captain of the vessel, Blue Horizon.

The decision comes in the wake of the tragic death of a 36-year-old man who, in his attempt to catch the departing ship, fell in the sea and drowned.

Videos circulating on social media platforms shed light on the desperate struggle of the 36-year-old man as he attempted to board the ship, engaging in a dispute with individuals from the ship's crew.

Eyewitnesses aboard the F/B ELYROS, which was docked next to the Blue Horizon at the port of Piraeus, observed the harrowing incident firsthand.

News website Protothema.gr reached out to Froso Tetrandonaki, a passenger on the “ELYROS” who was on the deck of the ship at the time of the incident.

“Many people were on the ELYROS deck for a smoke and witnessed the incident clearly. She saw the crew members of the ‘Blue Horizon' pushing the man into the sea. They pushed him three or four times before the ship's gangway was raised,” Tetrandonaki said.

The witness said that approximately 10 minutes after the man fell into the sea, she saw his lifeless body floating in the water.

“At that moment, I called the Coast Guard and made an anonymous report about the incident. ‘They pushed the man into the sea, and he drowned. They killed him,' were the words I conveyed to the authorities,” she said, visibly shaken. She noted that the man's body remained afloat for about 30 minutes before it was recovered.
