On Sunday, June 30, a family of seven was swept away in Swollen Waterfall in Lonavala, near Mumbai. The family included a man, a woman, and children who clung to them for support in the middle of the raging waterfall.
Two of them managed to swim back.
A family of seven was holidaying in Lonavala, a hill station only 80 km from Mumbai. Soon, the picnic turned fatal for them when they were swept away by the gushing waters. Only two of them managed to swim back.
Three bodies have been recovered.
During the search and rescue operation, three bodies have been recovered so far, and the search and operation will resume at daybreak tomorrow to search for the remaining.
Terrifying visuals of the family’s last minutes go viral.
A video of them being swept away in the gushing waters of the Swollen Waterfall in Lonavala has gone viral on social media. Terrifying visuals of their last minutes have shaken everyone. The video showed them standing on a rock in the middle of the chilling falls, holding on to each other and hoping to move against the tides and get onto the land.
In less than a minute, the gushing waters and the sheer force of the tides swept them away downstream as they screeched and screamed for help. Other tourists also gathered on the banks and called for help, but it seemed impossible for them to jump into it and rescue them. Locals and police rushed to the spot, looking for survivors with ropes and trekking gear.
