Their deaths were slow and torturous. And most importantly she jumped into hazardous conditions without realizing there was nothing to pull yourself out of the violent sea, nothing but wet rocks and the water, the sea is literally folding over itself causing a suction like effect, constantly pulling their body under. This is one miserable way to die.

Morbi, Gujarat, India - Oct 30, 2022
More than 50 children are among 135 people killed in Sunday's bridge collapse in India's Gujarat state, according to a list of victims published by state authorities on Wednesday.
Investigators are examining why the historic suspension bridge in the town of Morbi collapsed, sending dozens of people into the river below, in one of the worst public safety tragedies to hit the country in recent years.
Questions have been raised about how the narrow walkway collapsed and the role of an electrical manufacturing company tasked with maintaining the colonial-era structure, which only reopened to the public last week after repairs.
Here's what we know.
What happened?
Some 200 people are estimated to have been on the bridge across the Machchhu River in the town of Morbi when it collapsed on October 30 at around 6:30 p.m. local time, according to Gujarat authorities.
According to figures released Wednesday, 54 children were among the dead. Most were under 10 years old – the youngest was a 2-year-old boy.
A 36-second video clip shared by the Morbi District Administration via CNN affiliate News-18 shows a large crowd of young men gathered on the bridge in the moments before it collapsed.
The video appears to show some of the men shaking the bridge from side to side before the structure gives way, plunging the people standing on it into the river.
Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi said on October 31 that a cable appeared to have snapped.
Photos from the aftermath show people gathering on the riverbank beside the mangled metal walkway, which hung at a sharp angle into the water.
What witnesses say
Survivors and witnesses of the deadly incident described scenes of chaos.
"People were hanging from the bridge after the accident, but they slipped and fell into the river when it collapsed,” Raju, a witness who gave only one name, told Reuters. “I could not sleep the entire night as I had helped in the rescue operation. I brought a lot of children to the hospital.”

Narendrasinh Jadeja, whose friend lost seven members of his family, including four children, told Reuters: “I cannot express how angry and helpless I am feeling.”
What we know about the bridge
The Morbi Suspension Bridge was built during British rule around 1900 and is 230 meters (755 feet) long and just 1.25 meters (4 feet) wide.
For decades, it's been a popular tourist attraction in the riverside town, whose cobblestone streets carry the architectural legacy of colonial rule.
The bridge was closed for six months of renovations in April, according to the managing director of Oreva, a Gujarat-based electrical appliances manufacturer that oversaw the maintenance work.
At a reopening ceremony on October 26, the managing director told reporters the structure would not need any major work for “eight to 10 years,” according to a video of the event posted to social media.

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.

a dinghy packed with migrants sinking in the Mediterranean after they mistook a Tunisian trawler for a coastguard ship.
The footage appeared on the internet and comes as the Italian coastguard warned that eight people had died and many more were missing after another migrant boat went down in the Mediterranean.
It comes alongside the trawler and, as the migrants desperately try to climb up the side of the fishing vessel, the dinghy capsizes and dozens are thrown into the sea.
Many of the migrants clearly cannot swim and only a handful are wearing lifebelts.
As a man onboard the trawler's deck shouts in Italian: 'Calma (Stay calm)' the situation gets worse and eventually the bodies of people who have clearly drowned can be seen floating on the surface.

Last Saturday, a tragedy occurred on Lake Lebyazhye in the Shegarsky District of Tomsk: a 21-year-old boy drowned. On Monday, footage shot by a friend of the deceased appeared on the network - on them a young man enters the water, but does not emerge back.
“Brother, the [awesome] vidos will… Dive in, bro!” - the operator points out.
The footage shows how the guy gradually enters the reservoir to an ever greater depth. At one point, he hides with his head under water - only a hand is shown on the surface, which Tomsk is waving, showing that something is going wrong.
An eyewitness to the tragedy began to call for help: “He is drowning, he is drowning! He waved his hand! the man exclaims in panic.
When asked why he was inactive, the operator explained that he could not swim.
As previously reported, divers examined 20 square meters of water and, despite the fact that the work was complicated by dense vegetation at the bottom, they found the body of a guy.
thanks to @Slavo for those infos

Drowning
Whether someone just didn't know how to swim or was held underwater or something else, if their lungs filled with water (or perhaps some other liquid) and could no longer breathe, here is where it should be.
