"To see that happen, running as fast as they ran and they're jumping on, trying to resuscitate him and say he's not breathing... it just stops you in your tracks because you're here and you're supposed to be happy," said Donna Zenszer of Hatboro. "It really makes you think twice when you look at that water."

"It just was tragic because you come here to have a wonderful time at Ocean City and then you find out these rip currents, maybe they didn't know, but it was really hard to watch," said Doris Schmelzer of Pittsburgh. "The whole beach was silent." "A rip current, or an undertow as they call it, never pulls you straight down, it only pulls you out," said Chuck LaBarre, Margate City Beach Patrol Captain. "So maintain calm and try and get out of it when you get pulled out and swim in."*A rip current is a natural treadmill that travels an average speed of 1-2 feet per second, but has been measured as fast as 8 feet per second -- faster than an Olympic swimmer.
