5 High School Students in Jambi Dragged by the River Flow during the Flood, One Can Still Be Saved

Kolom Media. Five teenagers, residents of Kemang Island, Merangin Regency, almost drowned on the Batang Merangin River on Thursday (12/13/2018). The incident was not far from the official residence of the Regent of Merangin.

Information gathered by Tribunjambi.com, the five teenagers, were playing ketek boats. The plan is that they want to find fish in Sungai Batang Merangin Island.

However, when crossing the bridge, the boat they were riding was shaking and immediately sank.

The swift river flow caused the five to drift away. Luckily, at the time of the incident, there was a member of STKIP Bangko Mapala Mata Angin, who was doing mabim refting (rafting) at the location.

With swiftness, the rubber boat used as their training facility was immediately sent down to save the teenager.

"Thank God, I was saved," said Denno Charles, STKIP Bangko Mapala Mata Angin personnel, Thursday (12/13) afternoon.

That was done by dozens of children in Berembang Village, Sekernan District, Muarojambi Regency.

Children here take advantage of this overflowing river water as a place to play with peers of the same age as impromptu swimming pools.

Especially when this is an atmosphere of school holidays, so there is a special pleasure to play water games.

As stated by Robi, he said that with the water overflowing from the Batanghari River he felt happy.

Because the river's overflow is still not too high, so it is used to play with friends.

"Good to play aek (red-air) samo friends. Apolagi has been on school holiday, so every day you play here, "he said

He further explained that this water play activity is often carried out with other friends every flood season.

The same thing was said by Suci, He said that every flood season, He and other friends could play as much water as they could.

Even expressed by him there was not the slightest fear when playing.

"Come on, I'm glad if you don't know how to deal with this. Biso rame playing aek. So gather Samo friends here, swim samo-samo. "Dak is afraid, you don't know the mano in mano," he said

They are not worried either, because indeed every time they gather and play water, there are always people who are older than those who watch them.

As revealed by Eva, the parent of one of the children, although there were concerns, she did not forbid her child from playing water.

"Worrying that the sinking must be ado. But Kito keeps on watching and tells the children not to play aek in a deep place. Here this is where children play no more places, "Eva said

"Kito is good at children, often complaining about itching, but Iyo, my children's names cannot be banned, but it's still a reminder," he continued

The location of the children who play water is the badminton court next to the house.

The field is indeed beside the trench from the Batanghari river flow, so there is indeed a deep enough part.

We can see the activities of these children from morning to evening. And it will look crowded when in the afternoon.
