[Paddlewise] Rescue of Paddlers

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the great report.

I am hugely impressed with heroic efforts of the paddlers in saving one
another, with the Search and Rescue teams that swung into action and pulled
them all but one out of the water (given the level cooling of the victims,
this was truly phenomenal), and the exceptional work of the FIVE hospitals
that have been able to keep the paddlers alive. We are over overloaded with
records of victims recovered from cold water and taken apparently alive to
hospitals where they soon die from respiratory failure. This is an amazing
story.

Thanks for collecting the information.
