I guess Im just lucky that I never remember not being able to swim, but holy fuck i dont get why you can be a grown man and not try and find a way to learn. The guy trying to save him I dont blame as much, cuz you can still be an ok swimmer but be drowned by the person you are trying to save.

It was because he was black, Google "black people swimming" and you'll see. The white guy was the one that should have gone in.

If you try to save a drowing person you need to approach from behind and with something that can float, if he grab you with his arms like this dude, is going to pull you down becuase they are in panic and both of you are going to die. This video is the perfect example

Doesn't really matter if you can swim or not, the Niagara river which flows over Niagara Falls is very very dangerous.
