although i wasnt there slog did come back looking really exhausted. he was breathing really hard and seemed like he might throw up. kal is really big so its pretty believable that kal just kept pushing slog down in order to try and reach the surface. i asked slog why he didnt just go to the bottom and jump back up becuz 10ft isn't really deep and he said he was just freaking out and didn't think about it. good thing flash and jaedong were there!

lol swimming and riding a bicycle are not essential life skills, particularly if you a) live in a small country where you can't have huge municipal swimming pools everywhere and/or b) do not live in China or Portland, Oregon.

I would actually argue that it's much, much worse for first-world children to not understand the basics of programming and computer literacy than not know how to swim in this day and age.

Wow, reading the first hand account is really scary. So glad it turned out fine. I guess it's really no surprise that Kal panicked when he was drowning.

this is an amazing story, mostly because its true.

also to anyone who has ever had to/tried to save someone who was drowning- it is a LOT harder than you would think because people panic and make it a LOT harder than just simply grabbing and swimming, especially when they are flailing around throwing arms/legs in all directions, it can be quite difficult.

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


This is definitely frontpage worthy

What doesn't make sense to me is: how do you drown in a pool? It's not like it's in the sea with a stream that could affect you
were you drunk or sth?

Coming into this thread and reading it at first was a little scary and a little funny at the same time, but after reading the guy's version who was actually there made me rethink this whole thing, this was some serious shit, although I hate JD as a programmer with every inch of my body and soul I am truthfully thankful he was there and notice and react quick enough and took the best course of action. IMO JD is as much of a hero, if not more than Flash.

Wow, seems like it was really serious! Good to hear everyone's okay though haha, I laughed a few times reading that article XD but good to hear what actually happened from SloG other than the ridiculous "everyone fell into the pool and couldn't swim and flash was randomly swimming there and saved everyone" hahaha

Have you ever had a cramp while swimming? A bad cramp can mess up even the best swimmer, and it just goes downhill once you start panicking.

It's really scary (now that the actual participant clarifies it exactly as it was), but I'd still expect no one would die that day, even if things went worse. Because, at first Kal would pass out from air deprivation, then the other two better swimmers would be able to secure themselves, pull him out (even though he's very big), and force him to spit the water and start breathing. There is enough buffer time; it would take minutes of him passed out before he can't be saved anymore. Of course, that's extremely shocking situation to be in. I'm glad it didn't go that far.

Now, this may sound too far-fetched, but I think we could at least theorize progaming proves its usefulness for character building. Flash and Jaedong certainly are the best progamers you can find to have learned how to remain calm and focused in disastrous situations and pull unlikely survivals.

Well, it's good that nobody got hurt in the end.



Maybe exhaustion? From what I understand from the post, it was 6 am, and they hadn't slept all night. They already swam a few laps back and forth so maybe so was just too exhausted.

Man, I wasn't sure if this was real or not, but obviously it is. Glad that everyone is ok. ^__^ JD and Flash truly are superheroes.
