Fearing Water

Yesterday 4 visitors drown at Water Gardens in Fort Worth. It started when an eight year old girl fell into the fountain. Her family, I would guess, didn't know that the water was 9 feet deep and had suction for the water pumps. Three members of a family jumped in to attempt to save her. They all drowned trying.

The Water Gardens are such a beautiful, tranquil place to go and visit. It's a tragedy that this would happen.

What is especially upsetting is that this came on the heels of a recent heroic event where an office worker saved a 12-year-old boy from drowning in the Trinity River.
