That is the world we live in today, most people are self centered and dont care about anyone else.

But I am glad we still have some good samaritans left in the world, I try to be one as well.

The world is a better place when people remember the motto, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Glad no one lost their lives in this situation. I take my 71 year old mother out for boat rides sometimes, and I often think if she fell over board for any reason I think she would drown. I told her she needs to get a nice life jacket that is comfortable and wear it all the time when on the water, you never know when something might go wrong, at least these people were wearing life jackets, they may have done everything else wrong but they did do that.
