With its vast, unexplored waters, the ocean is a terrifying place for many. For some, it would be their worst nightmare to get abandoned in the middle of the sea with who-knows-what lurking beneath the blue depths. For thisCouple Elizabeth Webster and Alexander Burckle have brought legal charges against a Hawaiian tour company after they were allegedly abandoned at sea during a snorkeling tour.
One snorkeler who was in the same tour, Jess Hebert, recalled that she and the couple were the ones who swam the farthest from the boat. When she returned to the vessel, she asked if Webster and Burckle had returned as well. The crew told her that a headcount had already done a headcount and that all 44 passengers were present.
After they reached the island, Webster tried to signal for help from a passing boat by writing"help" and"SOS" in the sand, which was unsuccessful. Eventually, help arrived after they encountered two Lanai residents, who helped them return to Maui on a ferry.
philstarlife Glad they survived unlike that couple portrayed in the movie Open Water😬😅🙏🏻
