Every year, 37 tourists lose their lives in the Black Sea during the summer season/ Most ignore the flags of the lifeguards/ Tourists do not know the meaning of the flags
50 divers from MApN, ISU Dobrogea and from the National Association of Lifeguards have been searching for more than 24 hours for the body of a 16-year-old young man, a student at a military high school in Craiova. Together with five other colleagues, he went into the sea even though the lifeguards warned him that it was dangerous and not to go far from the shore. Yes, I know, we all think we're Aquaman because we've been swimming for a few years! But this does not guarantee that you will get out alive from a raging sea with strong waves and currents.
"Nothing can happen to me"
Most likely, the body of the 16-year-old boy will be brought ashore by currents, but in a few days. His parents and friends will mourn him, and in a few days the news will go out for television and newspapers. That is until the second half of June when you will again hear or read that another tourist lost his life at sea.
37 tourists lose their lives in the Black Sea every tourist season. A dark statistic compiled by the authorities. "Nothing can happen to me" is the motto of those who ignore the warnings of the authorities and violate them every summer.
The red flag means death
Maybe you'll read this article, and that's why I thought I'd remind you what the flags you see at the lifeguard pavilions mean.
Red flag with yellow – The beach is supervised by a lifeguard
Red flags with yellow and yellow - Attention, danger! Swimming recommended only for experienced people
Red flags with yellow and red - No Swimming!
