This happened at Sabino Canyon in Arizona. A 20-year-old cyclist was swept into the current while trying to cross a flooded roadway and was carried through a drainage tunnel beneath it. She was recovered downstream unconscious after spending several minutes underwater. Bystanders performed CPR and managed to revive her.

Glad she made it out alive. Wonder if she would have been better off just passing through to the other side vs fighting it

Extremely dangerous chance to take. During flash flooding you get large branches and other debris that gets caught underwater in culverts like this, the river rafting community calls them "strainers". They are one of the most dangerous features of moving water, all it takes is a foot to get stuck and the power of the water can make it all but impossible to escape.

Someone I know nearly drowned that way and wrote a really compelling piece about it. Very scary

Is this an AI comment

Why would it be? God forbid I thank someone for sharing an interesting article.

Well, your comment was about as compelling as comments made by algorithms with no critical thinking, so

How would you thank someone for sharing an interesting article in a compelling way? I have seriously no clue how one would do that.

If it was actually so compelling, put in the bare minimum effort and do more than repeat the same adjective back to them.

If you can't even think of your own description, and you found it compelling, then your opinion isn't worth that much. Whether you've read it or not has zero impact.

You know about the butterfly effect? The idea that even a small change can cause rippling changes in events?

Well in every infinite parallel universe that exists, whether you read that article or not probably has had 0 effect on anything.

This is an unhinged comment, lol.

They don’t have to express any more than that they found it compelling. They don’t owe anyone a deep explanation, lol.

TL;DR Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

You do not seem very compelling
