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.
