In the summer of the first year of 2019 (2019) (PDF file) There were 461

water accidents , of which 594 were water casualties, of which 239 were dead or missing. Although the number of water accidents itself is decreasing, many people are still involved in the accident and many victims are children. Even in Greece, a 4-year-old girl in a unicorn-shaped float was swept off the coast of a ski, which her parents took a little look at.

The girl was on a unicorn boat like the one below. A type that inflates by injecting air like a floating ring.

You can check the situation when it was actually rescued from the following movie.

The girl was discovered in Patra Bay, Greece.

It seems that the girl was playing at the beach, but she disappeared from sight shortly after her parents took their eyes off. In a hurry, the parents reported to the port guard and the authorities contacted the captain of the local ferry 'Salaminomachos'. When a ferry operating in the near sea searched, a girl on a unicorn was found floating in the sea. The following is the situation at that time. It looks like a white dot in the distance of the ferry.

To the distance you are rescued. You can see that the man in front has a rope.

Safely rescue the girl. Unicorns were also recovered.

“When I approached the port of Antiglio, officials contacted me that the girl had been washed away from a nearby beach. I didn't expect it to be this little girl,” said ship captain Grigoris Karnesis. Looking back. 'She was trembling from fear. The tide was very fast at this time. I brought the ship closer so that it did not affect the small floats, and stopped it in a position not affected by the waves. It would be tough if it sank, and slowly I rescued the child.' The ferry crew alleviated the girls' fears by making funny faces before handing them over to their parents.

Incidentally, this ferry seems to have rescued a man who was adrift on a mattress shortly before rescued a girl.
