Father drowns while trying to save sons in Ras Al Khaimah |

Ras Al Khaimah: A father drowned off Al Rams in Ras Al Khaimah while trying to save his two young sons. The tragedy struck Major Nasser Ahamd Al Tunaiji, a 34-year-old UAE national working for UAE Armed Forces, while he was picnicking with his children on a beach in Al Rams on a clear day. As the day progressed, Al Tunaiji started to read and his sons went for a swim and before he could realise the boys were caught by the waves and pushed into the deep sea.
The father, who was on the shore with his five-year-old daughter Aisha, was shocked to find his sons fighting the high waves and rushed to save their lives, said Lieutenant Colonel The young girl followed her father till water level permitted her to. The father went into the deep and fought the waves to save his sons. He managed to get the boys near the shore, but fatigue started to take its toll on him. The chaos and desperation on a desolate beach caught the attention of two passing Emiratis, who rushed to Al Tunaiji's rescue. But the proud father told the men to take his sons to safety. The rescuers took the children to safety and as they turned back to help the tired father, they were shocked to find him missing. The body of Al Tunaiji was later recovered.

Speed Comments: A heart breaking story !!! Such incidents are lesson fo others, childern should not allowed to swim alone in the sea and we should always provide them with safety equipments such as proper swimming costumes/ life jackets etc... |
To him we belong to him we return,
or with some Airblow toys..with the help of it..she will do something..
Provide her with a life jacket atleast
when the maid does not know how to swim, how can she jump in the water ?
The best way to help is that in almost every swimming pool one can see red color rubber tubes with ling rope hanging on the walls ... those tubes are for emergency purpose ! if someone does know how to swim can at least he can throw the tube towards that person in the water so that he can take support or hold the tube and he can be pulled out easily....
Awarness is very important ... !

One should be careful with their children! It seems that one cannot trust the maids to take care of the kids properly?
Alexa she was just sitting at the side and doing nothing? She could have at least tried to jump in to save the kid! I mean gosh! How uncaring for another human life!

I admit.
He do love his kids more than his life....
One should train the maid how to swim? incase if the children goes to swimming pools on frequent basis ... specially compounds !
Seems like there was no "Guard" on the pool !!! i thought every compound which has Swimming pool, keeps a Swimming Guard ?

i salute the father!!!!!
Family matters...really no one care of his own life espacially when some of the family member in trouble...
Sad story, it just takes a second for a child to get into some sort of trouble and this is a good reminder to keep eyes on them all the time.
Alexa good point about the maids, i think people place too much responsibility on the maids. As an over protective mother, i never take my two toddlers to the beach or swimming pool unless im accompanied by my husband, as one toddler will easily distract you leaving the other one unsupervised. Many babies and toddlers have drowned in very shallow water, even bathtubs
heads up to all parents...dont be too slack thinking that the water is too shallow for the kids. anything can happen...

Realsom I hope Allah has mercy on his soul, but this guy probably doesn't deserve much.
First he risked his childrens lives by ignoring them while they play in the sea, and now they will grow up without a father and their mother without a husband.
This guy doesn't deserve a place in paradise.
OMG
I have noticed here that on the open beach many of the families do not care about their children and leave them play in the sea water alone or with other group of children which is very risky .... even most of the young childern were not wearing life jackets ...

so sad..
It's a sad story, but had the father been watching his children swim in the waves it would never have happened.
What sort of father reads while his children play in the waves??
