A day that I will never forget.

If you live in the South Bay of California, you may have heard about the drowning of a 4 year old child at Paramount's Great America.

I witnessed the entire thing, well actually, from the CPR to my interviews with the news people.

I'll start with the story that I told 4 local news channels, 1 local news radio channel, and 1 local newspaper.

I was in the wave pool in the waterpark just sitting in the water as the waves that had just started were goin about. Suddenly, the waves stopped, and I said to myself "What's going on?" and I got up and looked around. Other visitors to the park were looking shocked, while others were confused. When I looked to spot where they were quietly looking at, I saw a boy being propped up on a lifequard board and many lifeguards at the waterpark were rushing over to the scene. As many onlookers crowded the boy and the lifeguards, they were told to back up and were told to continue to back up. I followed orders, but kept a watchful eye on the boy and the lifeguards are more park personnel came in to keep order. Many around me started to cry, and I just watched on. I saw the boys face, and his eyes were completely shut, his body was limp, and there was saliva dribbling out of his mouth. After seeing that, I stated to cry about the entire thing. I was saying in my head for the boy to get up, and that he will live to see another day... but unfortunately in the end, that did not happen.

May God bless Carlos Alexnoro Flores, and his family.
