The family of Zachary Porter is speaking out after his death. He drowned after getting stuck in the Alaskan mud flats at the Turnagain Arm estuary. abc7chicago.co...
My family is just DEVESTATED, in MOURNING, still in SHOCK over the loss of Zach. Always loved the times when we all got together. He was TRULY a super young man who had his whole life ahead of him.. I LOVE YOU Todd, Susan, Sarah & Elizabeth... ❤❤❤❤❤❤
IM sorry for your loss, that wasn't a fun death. I just really hope that if there is a god or higher being, that they give mercy on buddy because I imagine drowning like that, unable to break free, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies.
Having owned beachfront property in Alaska with relatively shallow mud flats, we learned to carefully watch our children when at play because our son became stuck one fine day and it was a chore to pull him out of his Extratuf boots. Multiply the suction at Turnagain Arm by 100 and it is near impossible to retrieve a person. Condolences to the family.
Poor family . I pray 🤲🏻 🙏🏻 for your family., and all of the people that has cancer or any disease, Jesus, please come for us now 🫶🏻🙌🏻. AMEN. They could’ve put a long tube or something or a hose did he could breathe into maybe
They put up a beautiful perpetual memorial for Zachary at Beluga Point in Anchorage. Donated by private citizens. Also initiated new Haz Warning / Rescue System. I’ll send you pictures . Send E mail.
NOOOOO!!! Rest In Peace sweet young Man. My heart breaks for you and your sweet family. 💔 ♥️🙏

Thoughts and prayers 🙏 to the family 🙏
So very sorry for your loss.
R.I.P. young man..
That’s just horrible way to go:( rip young man❤
He went under the muuuuud😁
Wait so there were rescue services and nobody gave him a breathing apparatus.. or snorkel?
Mudflats are worse than quick sand it's like cement waying you down

they couldnt give him an respirator?
I was thinking something similar. Like a water hose until they came back with more help
I’m wondering how this happens?!? It’s so sad that they couldn’t do more for him :(
I live in Alaska…trust me when I say that water is so cold that even with a respirator he would have died of hypothermia
@@Landonmoto39 thank you for more information about this. I sure am praying and thinking of them during this incredibly difficult time
@@Landonmoto39 Good point
This is very sad.
Very sinky😁

Who does this?
Rip Zac ♥
Thought that only happened in a Steven King comic book.
Dude theres a shorts video of that kid jumping into it and getting stuck. Well it looked an awful lot like him.
They should take it down. We (his family) should never have to come across it in here or anywhere..
Tragic
Alaska lakes have leaches. Everyone who visit alaska really needs to do some research before going or hire a guide
People are always waiting for the worst to start foundations. Why doesn't anyone ever start a foundation or non profit just because?
Bloop blop bloop😁
