All these negative comments are so unnecessary. Whether they were skipping school or what have you, these are young children who lost their lives. I can’t even imagine what those parents are going through. This is heartbreaking 💔 may they RIP
@dumazzes69 when I was a teenager I was being goofy, walking along the dock over there by Beach Channel and I fell in. But luckily I can swim. Those boys were probably terrified. So sad.
they were my friends rip i love y’all forever🙏❤️
@NewYorkUser218157002 sorry for your loss
Watching the video of one of them coming out just about tore my heart out. The simultaneous hope and devastation they all must have felt is unimagineable. I wish I could hug their parents and each of the first responders that was there searching, working, helping in any capacity. Those calls are some of the hardest to face.
those were my friends 🤧
so sorry for your loss 🙏🙏
