OOPS ! WE DIDN'T READ THE SIGN *PIC*

This picture was taken during a storm we had over here in Cape Town last week.

Our local fishing harbour at "Kalk Bay" is sometimes hit by huge swells and warning signs are up on the harbour wall advising of the danger during heavy seas.

The 2 guys in the picture were tourists from India / Pakistan who understood no English when bystanders tried to warn them, nor did the understand the "DANGER" sign.

They were washed into the harbour and sucked out by the undertow. A local fisherman, assisted by a surfer, managed to get to them by boat. They are in ICU after almost drowning but are expected to recover.
