HemsbyPie Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Always so sad to read... For the sake of a £30 life jacket. Hope she makes a full recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The unfortunate lady may not have even been on a boat to start with so not surprising that she wasn't wearing a life jacket. How many if us wear one for a riverside stroll? I know I don't. Let's hope she pulls through and recovers 100%. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to be spending any decent amount of time near water then it should probably be a consideration. Don't want to turn this into a debate though - all the best to the lady and well done to the red-cross chap, shows first aid really does save lives... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm Not saying anything about the rescue but. the response "Ten police cars, an ambulance crew, a rapid response vehicle, ambulance officer, and East Anglian air ambulance attended yesterday" Which I think is a bit over the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keifsmate Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Have to agree with TheQ, Ten police cars is somewhat of an over reaction. I suppose they were all a bit bored sitting drinking tea in the station. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemsbyPie Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The info they get is fairly limited - they probably just got "body floating in river" what could be an accident or something more sinister I guess... So yeah - 10 cars for a body is fairly OTT, but 10 officers wouldn't be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaters Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Sad to see they say she is on life support .,lets hope it turns out well in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesprite Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hope she gets well soon, if there's life there's hope. I have never seen anyone walking near a river wearing a life jacket apart from children, worth waiting for the facts before judging. The police are told of a lady in the water, did she come from a sinking boat with 6 people on board, if she fell off a boat why didn't the other crew phone the police, did she fall from the bank whilst walking alone. The police had little to go on and had to respond accordingly, worth waiting for the facts before judging. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Have to agree with TheQ, Ten police cars is somewhat of an over reaction. I suppose they were all a bit bored sitting drinking tea in the station. Let's be honest nobody has any idea what the initial call was so let's not be overly critical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 How ever many Police and rescue services were involved is not really important, there is a very poorly lady fighting for her life, our thoughts and prayers should focus on her, the details of what happened will be made public soon enough, let's hope for a happy ending and she makes a full recovery, my thoughts are with her and her family Grace 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampini Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Very sad to report that the lady in question did not make it.... http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/grandmother_pulled_from_river_yare_has_died_1_4149455 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 How very sad for all concerned. I agree basically with Grace's sentiments but perhaps it's better to let this end here, peeps? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
