@memo147258369 She may have been screaming "help!" In 2004, I was rescued after being pulled out to sea. The initial problem I had was when I was screaming for help, I had people on the beach waving, shouting back "hi" at me.

@memo147258369 this is a reinactment, we have no way of knowing if the woman could hear her or see her very well. the waves were probably loud. also usually you wave both arms if your in need of help, one hand generally means hello

did the other dude drown or go home?

I think that the flags should have been set to red on that day. To show just how dangerous the sea was. I'm so glad that no one drowned but the sea was truly very rough and a big monster.
