Thekkady disaster

(taken from the boat we traveled)
The boat ride in thekkady faced a disaster today where the boat caring tourist drowned into the Mullaperiyar dam. It seems the mistake that has been followed among people is the reason for the disaster. People have forgotten where they’re traveling on and act wild in the wildness.

Couple of years back I have seen the people’s wild act while we travel alike a boat when it was near the shore in thekkady. People never think about others and rush to exit even before boat get stable. What would happen if all people run over to an edge, the boat would get pressed one side to raise other to topple. This what happen to the drown today, when people rush to either side of the boat seeing wild animals on the shore and boat lost balance and drowned.

We can’t blame people alone, because it’s the boat drivers and organizers respond to guide people on the boat before it takes off. Seeing wild animals in wildness isn’t common though and enthusiastic is usual, but we need a control or it will take over wrong. I mourn to those lost there lives and hard to think something like this in mid deep water and forest.

anonymouse - u catch it right. life jacket could have saved people if it was worn here.

Rakesh - No. i visit there couple of year back and that time people rush to exit when boat wasn't stable and it pressed little and everyone shouted in boat and then some people moved other side to keep balance.

sad. we have little concern for the safety and we perceive that wearing life jackets is less cool.
