Bondi Rescue follows the work of the elite professional Lifeguards who patrol Australia’s busiest beach. This is Australia’s real life Baywatch! Taking the viewers on their journey through mass rescues, drownings, resuscitations, shark sightings, and all number of the weird and wonderful experiences Bondi Beach dishes up.
In #BondiRescue the audience sees the action through the eyes of real characters and #lifeguards like Hoppo, Deano, Reidy, Jesse, Maxi, Whippet and Harries, as they catch thieves, perform CPR, make drug busts, break up fights, and even handle a navy bomb that washes ashore one afternoon. Every year throws up new and completely unexpected challenges, and how lifeguards adapt is what makes Bondi Rescue a show that’s about much more than swimmers being saved in the surf.

A tragic day at Bondi. In line with our message of surf safety we urge you (and your friends and family) to learn about rips, how to spot them and how to get out of them. If you'd like to learn more about rips, Lifeguard Jethro has some tips here: th-cam.com/video/vDknhf1s-FA/w-d-xo.html
Just keep in mind you guys did everything to save him which is what matters the most and it's not your fault at all. Besides, you guys are awesome!
On his birthday, and they just moved there. I’m so sorry for this family. What an unbearable loss. 😢💔
Hi
How tragic for the family and lifeguards. My deepest condolences and thanks to the family for sharing their tragedy to illustrate just how dangerous and how quickly things can happen. Hugs to you.
When did this happen?
He was a father, a doctor, and it was his birthday… absolutely heartbreaking 💔
And a husband :(
It is 🤯😭

I think it is mandatory for them to stay with the family, because if the person shows up from the beach, lifeguards would stop research rightaway.

With gratitude to the family who, despite their grief, allowed this footage to be aired. The service this provides as a warning to all swimmers is enormous.
May the family find some peace in the coming days and years knowing that their father and husband, a doctor, will continue to help save lives after his passing. 🙏🏼 .

I agree.
@@spicydramarama852 Could you stop writing it here?
It still horrifies me how the general public seem to lose all common sense and crowd around a dying man. Curiosity doesn't cut it as an excuse - people need to have some respect and mind their own business.
I agree. I'm a very curious person and I really like medical stuff and rescues even if it's disturbing, sad, gory, etc.. However I understand not only is it important to stay way back (like at least five car lengths maybe?) but to also keep quiet. These people are trying to save someone's life and go with specific procedures while also staying calm. If you're curious and want to stand by to see what happens, I feel like that's fine but give LOTS of space and be absolutely quiet.
When you see a rescue, the family of the victim is quiet possibly going to lose someone close to them, it's not entertainment.
that’s all i could think like how are people so oblivious to being respectful? someone collapsed at my work and so many customers stood staring through the closed door like ????
You didn’t see people right next to the lifeguards crowded around next to his dead body. It’s So Disrespectful. Give them some space for fucks sake!!!!!!!!!!!
There was 5x more people crowded around whenever it was an unconscious topless young girl...😠
I agree it is mortifying to me that people think it’s like a side show.peoples family is standing their hoping they live while a crowd is just stating why?
Lifeguards are so underrated. They have to deal with such heartbreaking and tragic events often and most people ignore that
@Faylum1 Not just firefighters, pretty much all emergency services.
True 💕 respect all lifeguards around the world 🌎
Yes! They saved my parents’ lives once. They were stuck in a rip current. My parents taught us to swim sideways and not to the beach to get out of a rip at a very young age.
Completely agree.
@Faylum1 and so do police, paramedics, and the morges ,
lifeguards dont see deaths nearly every day so are more fragile but it comes with the job just like every profession.
They just have moved to Australia like a week and probably he must be starting his practice there as a doctor, and then this happened so unexpectedly. And on top of it, it's the man's birthday. They probably went to the beach to celebrate. This is just so sad. Just really devastating
this could be a reason to make basic swimming lessons mandatory all over the world
@@djh9816 what waste of money and time. Half the planet will never even see the ocean and it isn't hard to learn how to swim by yourself. It's a natural movement ingrained in your DNA. The fear of trying to swim is what holds people back.
Why would that man not have been more aware? My god
@@muscleman125
Its not that much of a waste actually, just cause you won't ever see an ocean doesn't mean swimming is useless especially since there are lakes, rivers and man made bodies of water people can fall into. Imagine you are driving, lose control, survive the impact but die cause after your car crashed in the river you drown. Kind of a waste.
And besides safety it also can provide healthy recreational facilities or just fun. Obviously I don't agree there should be a universal standard, but maybe that some things or places like holiday hotels may have the right to refuse you entry if you can't show proficiency in swimming. (for hotels at the beach or with waterparks)
@@muscleman125 you sound like a pleasant person 😒
Tons of respect to the lifeguards. Losing someone right in front of you has to be a gut wrenching feeling and I hope none of them blame themselves. They train so hard just to keep people safe and they fly under the radar for appreciation. RIP Doctor, I have faith that your son will step up for your family and take care of them
Why should a boy have to take care of his family he is still a child. That is the mothers role
Not in their culture. It’s the fathers responsibility then the eldest son responsibility to care of the family if anything happens to the father.

I feel really bad for Tom. He took his eyes off for a SECOND, and never saw him again. I can’t imagine the weight on him in that moment. All the life guards, I just can’t imagine. They’re such amazing people. They save so many. Lose so little, yet that one loss weighs heavier than all the people they saved.
But why do you need to put the binoculars down just to do a radio call.. seems dumb to me honestly they should be trained that when someone clearly needs help never take eyes off of them no matter what
ikr. the family's loss hits hard too
@@caramello7460 that's not a helpful nor kind comment.
@@caramello7460 it’s easy to think that, and imagine yourself having a different outcome. But consider how many individuals they rescue in a day.

@@samanthagolper5268 I just thought that the more they do it the better they get at it, especially the way they described his condition.. the guy said himself that only his head was showing and kept going under.. with their training they should know that means the persons almost goneskies and not to take their eyes off..: some people just put their hands up etc for help and those are the ones that they themselves also know have some time left before things get real bad..

I LOVE that the team leader said:
*“if your feeling bad about it tomorrow, it’s not a sign of weakness to ask for someone to talk to”*
Unfortunately that’s a misconception some people have, that wanting to talk is a sign of weakness when it’s 100% not weakness. It actually takes a lot of strength and courage to speak up and ask for help or ask to talk to someone.🖤

@@djbabyboi3556 it literally is though you get help when you are weak to get stronger like I said not a bad thing
@@aspart2842no. you’re strong to ask for help because mentally it’s a hard thing to do. needing to ask for help is not weakness, everyone is human.
I can’t imagine how horrible it would be to have to give CPR to somebody that you know is already gone with no chance of coming back…
Speaking from experience, it's almost better. The guy I did CPR on was completely a lost cause, and when the paramedics ultimately brought out the white sheet it was easier to know that there was absolutely nothing else I could have done.
At work we always do CPR especially if the family is there. We want them to know that we tried everything.
It’s good especially with young kids who’s family have gone missing in the water if u give them COR it will at least make the family know that you tried and have done everything you can. Even knowing there’s no hope it’s just to reassure people that you tried and not just gave up even though you know there is no hope.
my grandpa was found dead Thanksgiving morning, past noon. his lips were blue. he was very dead already. my uncle had to perform CPR on him for twenty minutes after he called 911... anuerism while he slept at least he passed peacefully. RIP grandpa ❤️
it's not their job to declare that someone is dead, it is a bit weird that paramedics aren't actually on scene though
I'm so so glad they offer mental health services and make it clear that it is not weak to feel traumatized or upset. It's so devastating and my heart goes out to the victim's family, friends, and the lifeguards who fought so hard to bring him back. May he rest in peace.
Imagine realizing your father or husband has died (on his birthday even) and having to wait for his body to be taken out of the water. The absolute horror. Poor family, absolutely heartbreaking. The lifeguards did everything they could and were amazing. Kudos to the volunteers for helping too!
18 years old and given the responsibility of calming down a distressed family. Honestly god bless everyone of these people. They may not have saved him, but at least they found him and his family can lay him to rest.
I was going to say the same thing. What a crazy responsibility he got hit with that i would have never thought of. These guys really are heroes
Such a sad story but certainly a cautionary tale… he died on his birthday a week after him and his family immigrated, I truly hope his loved ones are doing well.
Likewise
Pray for the family 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
i know your comment is 8 months old and this show is even older than that, but i read in an article from 2007 that his family moved back to mongolia right after his death, because he was the breadwinner of the family and the mother couldn’t do it on her own. :( really tragic. hopefully the kids and mother are doing better now, though.
Dying on your birthday is probably one of the worst days you can die on.
@@anootnoot7192 I imagine they had to go back anyway as their visas would no longer be current with his death. They probably came in as immediate family of a skilled migrant
As a former pool guard I have the ultimate respect for these guys... In 3 years of guarding I had 5 saves, and can remember almost everything about them. I doubt I will ever forget... and 4 of those were people who were helped to the side of the pool with no ill effects. 1 was an asthma attack in the water, she sucked in quite a bit of water struggling to breathe and we had to call an ambulance. But they in no way compare to fighting with tidal forces on an ocean beach, with constantly changing conditions and tens of thousands of people. And for them to have a safety record as high as it sounds is absolutely amazing, And the situation in this video is heartbreaking, because 2 guards knew they saw him having issues, but were unable to find him in the water. I mean that's the stuff of nightmares for a lifeguard.

Awww R.I.P.
I feel bad for the life guards and the family Public Service Announcement: lifeguards are only human they cannot be expected to see everyone. They will miss a couple times so PLEASE STAY BETWEEN THE FLAGS AND OUT OF BACKPACKERS.
I agree with you, honestly it's sad to see this happening but like you said there human. Sometimes I think people would forget that lifeguards have a mind of there own and people think that they have to be perfect because they have to save lives since it's there job. But a lot of the time lifeguards have so much on there plate that mistakes will be made and people would shame them for that. All we can do is follow there rules and try to be as safe as possible when swimming in the ocean.
And for everyone’s sake, don’t go in the water alone, or at all, if you can’t swim. Even at waist deep you can be knocked over and/or sucked out.

Stop blaming if u watch all the episodes hre the big waves pulled the people who just swim on the shore,no matter how smart u r when u go to the ocean and the waves caught u your brain will not work instant especially if u get panicked, and maybe that's what happened to him.
@@lotusgift4212 no they said in the episode he COULD NOT SWIM. Go rewatch it silly goose.
It’s because of the rips, on the surface it looks calmer but beneath the surface is where the current is that pulls you out. That’s the point of the flags. People see waves within the flags and think that’s too harsh and look down the beach at calmer water and head there not knowing or understanding enough about water.
I was a lifeguard at a resort for a couple years in college. On days like the Fourth of July and Labor Day you can barely see the bottom of the pool because of all the heads in the water. I can only imagine how hard it is scan a literal ocean full of people while waves are breaking every couple seconds. These men and women have all of my respect

People, if you can’t swim, but wanna swim, the solution is simple.
LIFE JACKETS
Or just stick to the pool instead of the ocean. So many times these people the Bondi lifeguards are rescuing either don't know how to swim or are weak swimmers that can't handle anything deeper than chest deep water. Lack of common sense is ridiculous.
Yep why even get into the ocean if you can’t swim at all. It’s just common sense. Or at least stay in between the flags closer to the shore line.
I freaking LOVE that the lifeguard said if you’re still feeling bad about it by tomorrow it’s not a sign of weakness to reach out and talk to someone. There is anonymous phone lines etc. Like that’s amazing especially coming from a man because generally men struggle with expressing themselves unfortunately and for asking for help. What kind supportive people.
I agree, that was a really sweet moment. Looking out for the younger guys
True, more men need to show other men that they're there for them.
This is the anniversary of my little brother drowning, July 19th. He was in a small lake at a roped off beach. There were 2 lifeguards on duty but they were sitting under a tree because it was hot and they wanted some shade. I've wondered many times through the years how messed up they had to have been after losing a 7 year old in shallow water. My brother went to the beach with the kid across the street and his mom. She told my mom she'd watch the boys. I wondered how she's felt all these years later? I know they moved not too long after Mark died maybe a year later, if that. I'm 62 now and still miss my baby brother.
im really sorry sharon, it's so heartbreaking, I'm deeply sorry
This is really sad... your little brother may fly high..
So sorry for your loss

I've seen this quite a few times now. Every time it breaks my heart. As Australians, we learn at an early age to respect the water, stay between the flags, don't go into the water if we can't swim, watch for rips, etc. But for those who come from other countries, especially landlocked countries, I understand how the attraction of a beach like Bondi can be too much. My heart goes out to the lifeguards who searched for this man and in particular those who found him. A huge healing hug to the man's family who made the heartbreaking decision to show how their loved one left this world. Kudos to the production team for being mindful of the family while putting this segment. It is a stark reminder that tragedy can occur in an instant no matter how much we try to prevent it.
Only a week there and on his birthday…heartbreaking. RIP Good Sir. I hope the family has been able to recover.
Came back to say thank you for letting the guys know it’s ok if they need to talk to someone about it. Mad respect for that!
This is actually a really old clip, it occured in 2007. Newspapers from that time reported the family went back to theyr original country the week afteras the father was the only income they had
10:32 such a surreal image: a dad taking a photo of his son right next to where there is a deceased dad being dragged out.
And they probably didn't even realize what was happening either.
I nearly cried
they probably thought they were filming a tv show or something
i mean look at all the equipment..
Bless them. Absolute heroes. Must be such a hard job, both physically and emotionally.
I remember when this first aired on telly, it was a massive episode and everyone I remember talking to about it said that they ended up tearing up during it. It was just so heartbreaking to see them work so hard trying to find and help him and the man unfortunately lose his life. I think it was the first death shown on the show from memory and, despite people drowning more commonly than we'd like on Aussie beaches, to have every step recorded as they so desperately looked for him was so heartbreaking.
Much honor to this man and physician, and his generous and loving family for sharing their grief and message. We will learn from this loss and this gift. Thank you family for opening your hearts. Thank you Bondi Rescue for sharing your expertise and heartfelt emotions.
Lifeguards deserve so much credit and people sometimes ignore it
Yess they save so many lives daily and some people don’t give them credit
The sad thing is, drowning isn't always loud with lots of screaming and splashing. Especially for people that don't know how to swim. One of the first things they do after panicking is suck in a deep breath because they're freaking out. Boom.. mouth full of water. It mutes their voice and they slip under silently. That's why it's so important to keep your eyes open when you haved loved ones in the water. The ones that can AND can't swim, adults AND children.. you never know what could happen..
So scary :(
@Kendrick Brickens That is absolutely horrific.😭
Yeah, it seems the mother was there also. She should have had enough sense to at least go in with her husband, or maybe suggest he shouldn't go in if he can't swim.
Drowning is almost always silent. We make new guards watch videos of actual drownings that were caught on CCTV cameras to drive this point home.
@@ThatOneWeirdGal you’re trying to blame his wife??? What a disgusting comment.

they probably had their visas revoked too and sent back to Mongolia within a few weeks/months. They will have been allowed in on the grounds that their husband/father was a skilled worker. If he's passed away then they're probably not eligible anymore.

I can't imagine how they feel, knowing they were so close to rescue, but yet so far. May he rest in peace, and I'm sorry for his family.
:( Water is dangerous and if you're not a strong swimmer it's tough to navigate it.
I'd be more pissed some idiot went to a fuckining beach but he can't swim
@@gimpyrules6714 yo dude, chill. We’re talking about a father of 3 that passed. Tragic. Also some of the most experienced swimmers can drown in unsafe water.
@@Thatisawhacksandwhich yes they can, you missed my point, don't swim in the ocean if you can't swim
@@gimpyrules6714 I was a beach lifeguard for a single summer. I quit after the 30'th person I rescued within 1 month that could not swim. Not was a poor swimmer. Legit could not swim and they went into the ocean. It makes no sense to me. People have no fear for some reason.
@@larryjohnson3087 is your job as a lifeguard easy?
I lived at Bondi for 13 years and the amount of untimely deaths leaves the area quite creepy at night, the dark water at night sends a chill down your spine.

These lifeguards felt they missed this one. But, these guys prevent hundreds of others from the same outcome. It's strange how "prevention" doesn't always seem like a saved life, but it is. Much respect to this amazing team.
This is just proving that they aren’t miracle workers but they are incredible. They risk their lives every single day to save others it’s miraculous that this was there first tragic death in 5 years it just proves how incredible these men are and they deserve more praise for their efforts incredible I have so much respect for every single one of you and you should take pride in what you do because it is extraordinary and you deserve everything in your lives because you have given a second chance at life to so many all the best in the future ❤️
Heroes. I hope they are able to get the help they need to process this trauma. Thank you for the sacrifice and work you carry out!
I agree, Green Eyes. This is the type of incident that causes nightmares for any first responder. But especially for the lifeguards. They saw him in the water alive then had to bring him out dead in front of his family. It’s an absolute hopeless and devastating feeling!
I know. I’ve worked in many of these horrible situations. 🙏
and the onlookers too, this is a horrible life altering event for all involved
@@ciara2837 Amen! 🙌
Absolute legends, each and every one of them..... the support and love for each other is amazing..
@@ciara2837 Definitely xoxo
That cold feeling when you connect the title to the missing man with a family
It just shows how important swimming is for everyone. Sad that there still are people who dont get the importance of being able to swim... Its not about fun, its about being safe.
*water safety. You can know how to swim and still die in the water.
I doubt there are many swimming lessons in Mongolia which is landlocked and freezing. But don't go in if you can't swim
I love that the council offers counseling for the lifeguards. Its important. They need to be taken care of too. And its not weakness to need to talk to someone after such an event.
Such a sad story, think the lifeguards need a drone to launch if a report of drowning to give an aerial view, would save time waiting for a helicopter.
What a brilliant idea! I think you might want to email them and suggest it because I think it's a great idea and I think it could save lives.
100%, my dji drone takes not even 2 minutes to set up and launch. within 5 minutes of a report they could have searched around the entire zone. definitely could mean the difference between life and death
I mean, they use them for everything else now, it seems it would be close to the top of a priority list.
Especially at a super busy beach like that!
They were using a freaking drone on the beaches last yr trying to make sure ppl were social distancing & had masks on! 😂
We did neither & just smiled waved at the drones. Half expecting to have our hands slapped for non compliance in the great outdoors back at the parking lot.
Doesn’t get more pathetic than that.
So, if they can use drones at the beach for that crap, they can certainly employ them to actually save lives.
Such a tragedy, all around.
From my calculations, this episode was 16 years ago. They said he was 40 years old and born in 1965. That would mean he would be 56 now (so it was 16 years ago). 16 years ago there probably weren’t advanced drones available to the public. If there were drones like that, the film crew would have had them. I’d bet a lot that they own drones currently.
@@olliewollie7844 you’re correct, although it was actually 14 years ago in 2007 - the man was turning 42. Either way this is likely why no drones were involved
That must be so hard to know that someone passed away right in front of you but you can’t see them. Bless the lifeguards and any other first responders that were there.👏✝️
So terrible, and on his birthday too :( thank you for the family for sharing, and thank you to the amazing Bondi lifeguards for always giving 100%
How hard must it be to give 100% effort on someone knowing how long they've been gone, just the emotion you put into it must be crushing.
This is so sad. He died on his birthday, pronounced dead in front of his family and his body was not found until 2-5 hours later. My man was a doctor. He helped patients recover.
And then they all got deported back to Mongolia ):
They did everything they could.. Rip
@@jessicanordstrom8816 really?
@@naughtypanda5858 yeah unfortunately/:
@@jessicanordstrom8816 how come? Do you know
I find it disgusting that people just stand around to watch a dead guy try and be resuscitated and have kids there as well is absolutely idiotic
Nowadays people whip their phones out to start filming or taking selfies. I get really upset when that happens. It's just so disrespectful. It's a different story if you can help in any way.
@@elleimonoyama152 There's law in Germany that fines people heavily for "gaffer" (German term for filming the accident sites and emergency service in progress).
I get your point but we did all click on this video...
@Michael Peters that is why when there is an accident people should say to each other go away or try to help. If someone starts filming you should always ask them to stop it and delete it
@Michael Peters I think it's human nature to be curious. I know that I would be staying to watch too from a distance, but I definitely wouldn't be taking selfies or filming the incident to share with anyone or posting it on social media just to get likes or views. That's just completely unacceptable.
Thank you to the family who supported this being shared. That is as brave as these lifeguards. I am sorry for the loss you all experienced. Much love to you all
My heart breaks for the family. These lifeguards were incredible and did absolutely everything they could. It's devastating but accidents happen especially in open water
I'm just sad.
Big Tip: DO NOT GO INTO WATER IF YOU CANNOT SWIM.
Wise words
No, rephrase that, DO NOT GO INTO WATER UNSUPERVISED IF YOU CAANNOT SWIM. I can't swim so im always with somebody but its still safe to go in the water
This is the reason I learned how to swim by drowning 3 times but my cousins saved me now I know how to swim in 5ft by him letting go of me and me swimming for my dear life
@@ducky765 I mean, even if you’re with someone if you start drowning what do you think is gonna happen? You’ll either drown your friend who’s there with you trying to stay afloat or they’re going to have to leave you to get help.
It's too hot in Sydney, it was 48c last summer
It really is incredible that there is not a drowning nearly every day off that beach. With an average of thousands to tens of thousands of beach goers each day, the fact that there is only an official drowning once every few years is astounding. These lifeguards do an amazing job and I feel terrible that a single drowning weighs so heavily on them. Keep up the good work ladies and gents. You save lives virtually every day and the statistics prove out that you can't save literally everyone. RIP to the man and his family and hope the lifeguards find a measure of peace quickly as well.
I feel so sorry for this poor man's family and the lifegaurds involved.Hope the family and lifegaurds got counselling for such a harrowing tragic event.
Poor lifeguards they can feel that they are responsible for someone’s death coz they didnt c them etc, they do the best they can and are underrated. They know to perform cpr and how to handle swimmers. U dont realise how vital lifeguards are until ur in that position when ur relative/friend is in trouble in the water. Keep up the great work lifeguards all around Australia
So fricken sad but I’ll never understand why people who can’t swim still choose to go swimming in places where they can lose their lives.
I think it’s the fact that Mongolia is a landlocked country and he went swimming for the first time where some of the worlds most dangerous currents are present
No common sense unfortunately
@@boblowski4209 He’s a doctor aswell
Apparently he wasn't swimming, he lost his footing and the rip current dragged him away. It was a accident.
Unfortunately a lot of people, especially in a landlocked country don’t realize the dangers of the ocean and how the undercurrents work..
A father. A doctor. It was his birthday. This is absolutely heartbreaking. Rest in peace🤍💔
I know there's a slim chance of y'all seeing this comment. As a lot of people do I stumbled on your TH-cam channel by chance after the most difficult day was when y'all had 2 drownings of the wife and her husband who did not make it. As a Nurse here I. Greenville North Carolina, I've worked in the ER and have seen and participated in life/death situations. We too have to do everything to save patients until the decision is made to stop when we knew from the start they were gone. People who aren't on the front lines, can't appreciate the stress and emotions that comes with trying to save someone's life. Sometimes we can save people and sometimes we can't. I applaud you ALL for putting YOUR lives on the line to save others and carrying the burden when you can't. This clip I guess just touched me and I had to say "thank you" my family lives 5 mins from the hospital I've worked at and we hear ambulance sires, police cars, and helicopters coming and going and I know someone's life hangs in the balance. You are all brave men and women and I thank you for being on the front line. Maybe we'll put Australia on our bucket list (no pun intended) to visit one day! 💜💜💜💜 BTW - I think everything came full circle the way it was meant to be, to be born and to die on the same day, to me completes the circle of life for this man and I pray his family finds some comfort in that.
Wasn't this the first time someone actually died from drowning in years? Props to the lifeguards for keeping thousands of people safe every year
I don’t think so. I read an article on this gentleman and it said he was one of 8 drownings that January :(
@@elsie3724 that would have been around the country, not Bondi beach. Most people drown at rivers, beaches that are not patrolled
@@Kodiak1234 thank you for the correction! you’re correct - I wasn’t thinking the parent commenter meant specifically Bondi but they probably did. This was one of 8 deaths in January 2007 along NSW coastline, not bondi.
off topic but I love your kazuha pfp 😭🤚 also I’m pretty sure a couple months ago people drowned somewhere in Australia, I remember my health teacher telling us
@@ss11kk lol thanks and I'm just talking about Bondi, I think in one of their older videos they mentioned somthing about the last time someone died to drowning at their beach but idk anymore 🦵🏼
The fact that the man died on his birthday is just tragic
What a tragedy, just heartbreaking. These lifeguards have my heavy respect for doing this difficult job.

I went swimming at Bondi Beach in 1990.
Never went far in the water, never saw anyone taking chances an swimming out of their depth.
Since then, tragedy after tragedy.
Kudos to all who helped save peoples lives over there...
There was nothing they could do. He was missing for 3hours and his family didn’t tell the lifeguards until 3hours later. They searched endlessly and the outcome was devastating. May he rest in peice.
Don’t be ignorant. Did you even listen to what the son told the lifeguard. Go back and listen- I’ll wait. Have a heart, don’t judge, be kind
Someone commented they watched a longer video. And either the father went swimming by his own ir the family left earlier and he stayed to swim. It is sad that they didn't see the danger letting someone who can't swim in the ocean go alone into the water.
Wy after 3 ouers???
Don't know why I started to watch this but wish I hadn't. Tears were leaking from my eyes as my heart went out to his family and the lifeguards. A moment in time never forgotten. Lifeguards are modern day heroes and the next time they yell at you to move, do it immediately without hesitation. Kudos to these saviours. My thoughts with this young family in a new country...

I don't know how these lifeguards can keep track of any one person and know how long it's been since they were seen. They are true heroes and truly amazing.
So sad 😢 and my heart goes out to all involved. Every effort was made and sadly fate had other ideas… The work you guys do is amazing.💕
Still sad and though clearly no fault of the lifeguards since they were combing the water looking for a person they thought to be in trouble, oddly go vanish. For forty five minutes they searched for person unconscious, floating, struggling, underneath the waves and found nothing. No it's not their fault, still heartbreaking for them and it's sad. Condolences to the family. Rip
My heart goes out to all the life savers that work that beach. Losing someone is always hard to be sure. But you definitely save many more than you lose. Take heart Lifeguards of Bondi, you do you level best to never have to tell a family sorry. Praying for you and the family, and for all the lifeguards that patrol Australia's beaches diligently.
These lifeguards deserve TOTAL RESPECT.
They ARE HEROS. 💙
Huge shoutout to the producers for keeping this moment as respectful for the victim’s family as possible. Not only did they not show the victim’s body at all, but they even left out the music to honor that moment of silence. Also huge shoutout to the lifeguards for spending all that time looking for the victim when it could’ve been just a false alarm
One thing that still bothers me about this. The lifeguards performed a full scale search for 45 minutes. That kind of thing is obvious. Wouldn't you see the lifeguards searching and check on all the members of your group? And knowing he couldn't swim, tell the lifeguards right away? Maybe it would still have been too late, maybe it was always too late. But the father was missing for TWO HOURS before the family bothered to alert the lifeguards. And they knew he could not swim.
Honestly people with no water experience mistake water as safe. No one will think oh it maybe my family member they're looking for. But to me yes it's pretty obvious. I grew up in a family of swim teachers who were certified rescuers as well, so it's been bred into me of dangerous water can be.
There is (or was) a longer original clip of this. I watched it a few years ago so forgive me because I don't remember the exact details, but they mention that either the dad went to the beach alone or the family went home and the dad stayed behind to enjoy the beach a little longer. So when the dad went underwater and the lifeguards were searching for him, his family wasn't at the beach. The son only went to the lifeguard station because the dad had not returned home by the designated time he had said he'd be home.
@@corynm92 not to be rude but people shouldn't be swimming in such dangerous waters alone, especially at Bondi. But that sucks the waiting and then having to check where your family is.
@@KstewLover1 I 100% agree.
I completely understand you
Hi Blake, i lost my father too when i was 18. Stay strong buddy, be there for your Mum. Your Dad will be with you in all that you do. Youre a legend the way you handled this horrendous day, stay strong.
Condolences to the family. PTSD is real for all emergency responders, you guys take good care of each other BONDI lifeguards!
PTSD from THAT?
Luckily most people are far more resilient otherwise we wouldn’t have a health system or any kind of dangerous job.
Respect to the lifeguards who tried their hardest. You guys are truly amazing..
And today was his birthday. God bless the life guards, cops, paramedics and the family for trying their hardest to help him. R.I.P Hope his dad is smiling down at his family and thankful for the help that they tried for him. Sadly it was too late ❤️🙏
looks like he was in a deep area, but he could not swim. seriously sad
I think he was in the shallower area at first but got dragged to the deeper part. Anyways, it is devastating
@@arianawijaya1109 Oh i see. i was once in a lake in mongolia and it was deepish in some parts and shallow in others...i could stand but the currently was so strong it just pulled me. eventually it took to a very shallow area so i could stand....but that experience taught me how a seemingly calm looking lake can be so dangerous.
Not an expert but from previous episodes the beach has a lot of banks that lead into rips and people get knocked off them by waves.
I dont know why anyone who can't swim would go above knee or even waist height in tidal water.
I am in tears. God bless this man’s soul and his family. So very sorry for your loss.
the fact that it was his birthday makes it heartbreaking 💔 to know that it’s ur birthday he was also a doctor, and a parent this just makes me heartbroken 💔❤️ all hope for the family 💔
Reidy almost made me cry bless him, must of been so diffcult
These men did everything! You can tell they put their heart and soul into the search. I pray the family has peace.
Thank you Lifeguards, aka LifeAngels to protect the public.
We can never forget that they also put their own lives at risk to rescue people, day after day. They never know when they go out on a call that they may be swept out to sea themselves in ferocious waves and rip tides and drown but they still do it. They are very courageous and have very kind hearts to do what they do.

The dedication and professionalism of these lifeguards was commendable.
Continued looking for 45 minutes with nothing more to go on other than he kinda saw someone in the water, and then performed CPR on someone who was in the water for hours!! I am literally crying over the dedication of these Lifeguards! 😥
people should appreciate lifeguards more. they don’t get enough acknowledgment for literally saving people’s lives. creds to you guys. your literally legends!
Heartbreaking. I was a lifeguard for 10 years. My worst fear was losing track of someone in the water. Thankfully, I never had that happen. For people who can't swim, the ocean is not your friend. My sympathy to his family and friends; and also to the lifeguards there that day.
Just want to say all the crew were amazing and it broke my heart seeing the first lifeguard know in his gut it was going bad.Tom did an amazing job and I respect his efforts massively.
My prayers go out to the family.
These lifeguards are true hero's they are very young, and handled this devastating situation well.
I love that they provide counseling for the lifeguards. I cannot imagine dealing with something like that.
