A Chinese woman who was swept out to sea while swimming at a Japanese beach has been rescued 37 hours later after drifting in an inflatable swim ring more than 80 kilometers (50 miles) in the Pacific Ocean.
Ask yes, the Cedar Point tragedy of 1869. 27 died, including a Habsburg and two Rockefellers. 42 others were missing and presumed dead. The Navy spent three months subduing the lake by beating it with oars. It was the fastest legislation passed since the DC Forest Incident in 1831
We would never let something like this happen in the Midwest.
There are a lot fewer examples of someone being swept out to sea from the Midwest. Maybe Japan should learn some lessons.
Kind of hard without oceans in the midwest
But at the same time though, we have the lakes!

They outlawed riptides in Midwestern lakes back in the 1870s
