3 days agoI’ve done some rescue work, and in my training I learned even fully conscious people can drown in water well below their neck level. They can freak out and go into shock, or get too confused to figure their way up, in some cases the sudden tempature change can cause a loss of consciousness immediately upon falling in. It’s rare, but it does happen, and in a world with 8 billion people it’s going to happen with some frequency.
In the west coast we typically just used the name of the native tribe we killed in order to take the land.
