I saw this when it first aired. Once. I was ten years old. I cannot believe how to the letter I remember the opening sequence, except apparently my brain added in a re-enactment scene of the intestines and guts swirling around in the pool. It added it REAL good. It took something like a year of "That's not going to happen to you, I promise" and late-night terror stares before I was willing to risk hotel pools again. Thank you for uploading this chunk of childhood nightmares, good archivist! Time to...go have night stares again, criminy
This is really unfortunate. Those parents will never forgive themselves, & none will have easy lives maintaining their health. My heart & thoughts go out to them all.
ra86226 One victim who died from drains was a senator's daughter. They were not pleased, so they passed the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa safety act. I may have misremembered the name slightly as I'm not American and I don't know what the European counterpart is, but that is how American pool drain safety laws came around.
I Feel Bad For Those Kids And There Parents. I Mean Common Thats Not Cool At All I Mean Your Entistines Being Riped Out Of Your Ass I Mean Thats Real Sad.
the victims whose intestine got sucked out sat on the drain that way their anus was towards the suction pipe and it just sucked them out of a victim's body

that is so awful. Apparently John Edwards used to sue pools and manufacturers of these drains.

It got chills watching them cover the drains to show how alarms work

I just want to let you know I am reading your book right now! Very interesting, and thank God HE is STILL in the Miracle business!!
Does the sucking force of the drain rip off skin and suck your intestines out? I don't get why the skin is ripped off from the first place.
