A day of adventure turned to tragedy on Saturday at a waterfall on the Deschutes River. A group of people strayed from the safe path and entered a dangerous part of the river, known for its powerful currents.
Without warning, some individuals were swept away by the water, plunging over the waterfall's edge. The fast-moving water made the situation extremely perilous for everyone involved.
A rescue operation was launched immediately. Emergency crews worked hard and rescued three people from the turbulent water. They were brought to safety, shaken but alive.
However, the outcome was not happy for everyone. The authorities reported that two individuals were found dead, and the search continues for one more person who is still missing. The event is a tragic reminder of the river's hidden dangers.
