Mom Warns Other About Dangers of Swimming In Quarries After Son Died
More from Inside Edition: http://bit.ly/2bF0iuC
Thousands of quarries exist across the country but some can be disastrous. Jonathan Baksh, 19, jumped into Martin’s Creek quarry in Pennsylvania in 2015, but he never made it back to land after suffering a cramp in the water. His mom was stunned when she found out her son was the second young man to die in quarry that year. Now, as the one year anniversary of her son’s passing arrives next month, she’s on a crusade to tell the world about the dangers of swimming in quarries. #InsideEdition
me whose swim team practices in a “quarry”: 😃🚪🚶♂️
💕
The bulldozers really only pose a threat to humans in the warmer weather during their mating season where they become much more territorial and aggressive. Otherwise it’s generally safe to swim in their waters.
We’re a life vest. No, seriously
You couldn’t pay me any amount of money to jump into a quarry!
So don’t swim if you don’t know how to swim… the quarry didn’t kill your son.
RIP💔💔💔
But how did he die tho
Did you know that you can drown in bodies of water?
In calm water why wouldn’t he just roll over onto his back and float.
Years ago I went swimming at a quarry with a bunch of friends. We had to park about a mile away. There were lot’s of other cars parked also. So we went for our swim. Then the police showed up at the quarry and told us all to leave but not to rush because they had already towed all the cars. We had to walk for miles.
I’ve seen 80s movies and you can definitely get the clap from quarry skanks
So….how he drown tho?
"that’s a bulldozer!"
Read the book The Dive From Clausen’s Pier. It’s fiction but it brings light to this. There was a movie as well starring Michelle Trachtenberg.
how tf did a bulldozer get in there
Inside Edition thinks we’re blind
I honestly don’t get how you can drown if you’re a good swimmer and it’s not rapid water
If ppls die in them it’s because they didn’t verify it was safe. And unfortunately it’s not gonna change with our current teenager generation.
It’s not only from jumping, but also the color of the water.
The color got a great meaning in the purity of the water, for example 0:02 has toxic waste like Petrol and Oil (coming from left over flooded equipment and leaked drilling oil pipelines 1:55) the color of this water is murky blue-white ish but at 2:48 this water is safe to accidentally swallow because it’s clear and you can see much deeper.
Keeping the room of a loved one who died exactly as it was is not mentally good, it just keeps reminding you of what happened and the pain never goes away
The water look like it was frozen
So how did he die? He couldn’t swim? ID you can’t swim stay out of the water
what they should do ..is use that water since there’s a drought n than no more water for danger
What is a quarry
Sooooooooo…why did he drown? He came up and down. What happened?
I don’t dare to jump 5 meters high
I can never do this
i feel like it should be a safety hazard to not wear a life vest because what if someone hits the water in the wrong way and gets a concussion and sinks
I’m still confused why this man dying had anything to do with the fact that it was in a quarry. It sounds like he just died because he was not able to swim?
You must be careful while swimming, cramping can be deadly.
I went for a walk in the desert while back, about 5 mile total walk..
Something I have done weekly..
1 time, I was only about 25 and I was out on my walk.
Lucky I decided to walk to my friends house this day about 2.5 mile away.
I made it to their place hungout for an hour or two and left..
I got about 1000 feet from their house and I started get a funny feeling in the bottom of my feet.
Soon the bottom of my feet started hurting ever step.
I stop and sat on the curb even started getting light head and loss of consciousness.
I was hardly able to crawl back to my friends..
I honestly felt pathetic 😪
But my friends help me up broght me in..
I was Nearly unconscious on thier floor for about 15 minutes
Then they gave me a ride back home.
I honestly wasn’t able to walk adequately for like 2 weeks.
I remember it feeling like I was walking directly on bone.
My point
If I would had made it much further before that pain set I would had been stuck I’m the middle of the desert and not one person would had known where I was.
Would had made me easy pickings for a coyote or heat stroke.
Pretty sure my feet just crapped out on me after all the constant walking I was doing.
We had a quarry down by our house where I grew up. We would swim there all the time none of us ever got hurt but we were kind of smart about it. We would always check the waters out for big rocks and anything else that could be thrown into the water we could potentially land on. Also we knew the Quarry really well and it wasn’t that big. There was one spot that was about the size of a Olympic swimming pool that had a 15ft jump and a 25-foot jump Into it. It was about 15 ft deep I would say. We also knew exactly where to jump to land in the deep water
2:49 I thought he said something else at first
In Australia there crocs and sharks in our quarrys
Nothing to do with quarries this reporter is dumb af
It’s not swimming pool.
My son always died in a quarry in Amhearst, Ohio in 1988!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be sure and not tell the whole story, as it makes a better story. Like so many of the comments here, he could have drowned in any body of water
Why was he screaming for help from just swimming across the quarry ?
🇬🇾 Flag?
I’m sorry, there has always been dangers in quarries. Swimming in them is not going to stop
We have stripper pits outside of town and it’s how I learned to swim to save my life. I still can’t swim to have fun, there is nothing calm and collective about flailing around on the surface of a body of water until I float to land, but if I’m ever in a life or death situation and land is only a few feet away I’m good.
I feel so bad for this woman. They should have life jackets on though. I feel so bad for this woman.
Ok it’s called learn to swim and know your surroundings..
Seriously. You can cramp up anywhere
Crossing the street is dangerous. Should do an episode on that.
Sounds like you got eaten by a giant grouper
it is super dangerous and I agree with that but I also think they’re doing the right thing with pool noodles and people down there just in case they’re in trouble
Moral of the story: learn how to swim. I thought this was going to warn us about some kind of quarry flesh eating parasite or monster…
Rivers, seas, oceans, lakes. Water is as dangerous anywhere you swim.
It’s my choice to choose what risks I take…
I got a ticket in 77 swimming in a quarry
I never paid it f**+ them…
