They felt 'vibrations' in the pool 😱
The scary incident took place in the private pool of the Caminos de Primavera condominium complex in Neiva, Colombia, on Monday. The victims were two children, aged eight and 11, the adult who was accompanying them, and the pool's lifeguard, local media reported."From one moment to the next they began to feel vibrations in the pool. Unfortunately, the four people received an electric shock," Lieutenant Elmer Perez of the Neiva Fire Department told local media.
Two children, aged eight and 11, the adult who was accompanying them, and the pool's lifeguard were found motionless at the bottom of a pool. Source: CEN/Australscope Residents staged a rescue operation to get them out of the water without getting shocked themselves. Miraculously, medics said all four had sustained only minor injuries and were recovering.
Firefighters have ruled out a theory that the shock had been caused by a lightning strike. They later said it was caused by an electrical discharge, the origin of which is now under investigation. Experts have speculated to local media that the discharge could have been caused by the pool pump or the lighting system.
