Sad story...too bad for the Uncle.
People drown at the beach here every year trying to watch unusually large waves, which are generally associated with a strong storm.
Why did the stupid mother allow her daughter to get so close to the waves in the first place?
Perhaps he should have thrown her moms in first...
One of the first rules of rescue is to not make the situation worse by also putting yourself at extreme risk - since this just multiplies the problem.
With that said, I would probably try to help.
I've never saved anyone from drowning, however, I have put out three car fires over the years (I carry a fire extinguisher in my car), and I've saved a few buddies from being killed by providing a fake alibi to their wives...
