I appreciate many posts don’t get a response..it‘s usually just a fun post and it gets whatever off the chest,especially WAMT but I’d appreciate a response (s) to this incident which really does baffle me and also makes me suspicious. I’m referring to the tragic events at the Costa del Sol hotel. The family’s 9 year old daughter gets into trouble in the hotel swimming pool. In goes her 52 year old father and her 16 year old brother. Both fit people, I assume. They also come to grief. All three drown.The circulation skimmer and pump system structure became suspect but the Guardia,who carried out the inspection, said they couldn’t find any malfunction of it. A suction malfunction could be deadly to a child..ie not having the strength to overcome any suction Infact the article link here states that an experienced member of staff struggled to recover the bodies.

The article states the child ‘got into difficulties‘ but dies not describe the nature of them Nor the nature of the struggle experienced by the member of staff during the recovery. Shouldn’t the equivalent of our thorough Health & Safety Inspectorate have been called in ? It reads as though the matter was dealt with by the police. Can you imagine the pay out of a claim for negligence ? There are too many injuries at best,at worst fatalities, involving shoddy workmanship,especially regarding electrics in the likes of hotels and privately-rented accommodation in Europe. .It’s when I read/hear of such incidents I’m relieved that here,in the UK,we have such a high bar for safety and thorough investigations when it goes wrong.
I cannot believe that two,on the face of it, strong males also suffered the same fate as the little girl. Something’s badly wrong here and I don’t believe the findings.
