Wow G5 that was a hella long msn log but the IMPORTANT PART is below:

so all of us were drowning at the same time
and jaedong from a hot tub
realizes that it's mad serious
comeso ver
i heard he can't swim
and he grabs the ladder
from the pool
we didn't have any tube or anything
and he pulls out his hands for me to grab
and at that moment, i had to let kal go
cuz we were all drowning, and i was about to die
i drank so much water
and flash was closer to the ground
from kal's side
so i let it go
and i tried to grab jaedong's hand
it wouldn't reach it
i used up all my power to reach it
and somehow grabbed it
and i got up to the ground
and i ran to kal's side
and grabbed him up to the ground
and puked everywhere
and we were liike all exhausteed
my heart was pumping like a MOTHAFUCKEr
for like an hour straight
as well as kal

jaedong should have thrown one of them his balloon zergling to float on. In the bus on the way back to the hotel he looked like he really liked it too much though haha

i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Lack of swimming skills is understandable. Money that could be spent on building and maintaining pool infrastructure, let alone clean rivers and lakes, is money that is often spent elsewhere in many countries. I can swim because I had the opportunity to learn, though my school county didn't demand students be able to swim.

Heroic efforts by all of them. Though yeah it's a bit silly that so many non-swimmers found themselves in such a deep pool.

This is sad, scary, hilarious and awesome at the same time. Flash to the rescue. Jaedong, Kal AND the WCG guy not knowing how to swim (i thought everyone knew nowindays).

Would of been tragic as hell though if something did go wrong.

Edit: Read G5s post and it seems Jaedong and the ref are heros too :D

In a recent interview Flash stated "I am very happy to save a human being. However, next WCG I want to save two at the same time. I want to be the best at saving people."

Oh god something about imagining 4 guys struggling to save each other from drowning in a swimming pool is just fucking hilarious. Like I would love to just be a fly on the wall watching the chaos.

this is what really happened that morning

so it was midnight, I was at one of my friend's room with bunch of other ppl , drinking like crazy since it was our last night, Nyoken(who came over to watch wcg from arizona didn't have a room to stay so i let him stay for couple of days) wanted to go to sleep, so we went back to my hotel room. my room was right next to flash/jaedong's room , so we stopped by and said bye or whatever and went back to the room. few seconds later jaedong/flash/kal comes over saying that they wanted to hang out more and stay up since they have to wake up early in the morning, but my real roommate was already sleeping so we had to go over to their room instead.

we were just talking crap, having fun etc etc and later on jaedong was like "let's go to spa, it opens at 6 am, since no one will be there it's gonna be ok" so we're like yea w/e maybe we can do that so we went down around at 6:10amish (nyoken had to go to sleep since he didn't wanna swim with his underwear on) , anyways we were relaxing in a spa..and all of sudden flash goes into pool saying that he loves to swim, and kal follows. and i just went in too (spa was kinda small for us to fit in) so we were swimming, we were swimming back and forth, and all of sudden Kal stops in the middle of a pool(3 meters depth) and started struggling himself, at one point we thought he was fking around but as the time goes by we're like wtf , is he actually serious? so i went there to save him, and all he had to do is just let me do the job but instead he kept pulling me down into the water, and i kept trying to fight him in the water so that i can grab him to the ground, but he kept pulling me down and i was drowning at the same time. flash comes over and finds out how serious the situation was and he tried to grab kal at the sametime, and now KAL pulls flash down too, and 3 of us started drowning in the water, and jaedong from a spa sees us and comes to us pulls out his hand towards me, and i had to let kal go since i, myself was already drank so much water, and couldn't do anything but drowning, jaedongw as like 10 cm away from me, i tried to grab it but i was so exhausted, but somehow i pulled up all my power to grab his hand, and he pulled me towards him and i survived, and at the same time flash gets kal towards the ground and saves him
it was so scary since we couldn't touch the ground with our feet and didn't know what to do when they're no one around us. it was a very serious situation, i honestly don't understand all the comments that has been made here, everyone loling rofling when this thing could have been worse :/

well i just summarized up very quick now, sorry if my post isn't too grammatically written but here u go

oh yea btw we all knew how to swim, i think something went wrong with kal at that moment, that's why we all thought he was joking, but...came out that he wasn't, we drowned cuz kal was pulling us down, not cuz we didn't know how to swim

Interesting. Well now we know the truth from the mouth of someone who was there (should update the OP with the last posts).

Kal, being such a big guy, would surely have the force to drag down 2 other people with him if he had a panic attack or some other weird thing.

Thankfully Flash was strong enough to carry Kal out and that Jaedong was able to help the WCG guy since if the situation remained as it did without a 3rd party things could of been fatal.

Ugh that would of been some terrible news to wake up to to see "2 progamers and official die in pool."

Sounds like Kal panicked. Maybe he had a cramp or something ?
Well, it's good that nobody got hurt in the end.

I know a lot of schools used to have mandatory swimming lessons but they have since gone away

It's always kind of shocking to me that people can't swim, it's like not being able to ride a bike to me, it's part of growing up, you are supposed to have learned that.
