## Resource

Two boys, aged ten and twelve, were trapped under Blackpool Pier as a sudden tide surged in, cutting them off from the shore. Their mother watched in horror as they clung to pier supports, but within minutes, an RNLI lifeboat crew arrived and pulled them to safety — along with a teen relative also stranded. The family, visiting from Leeds, had checked tide times but were caught off guard by the rapid rise. The mother called it a miracle, urging others to heed tide warnings and learn water safety techniques like “Float to Live” — especially as World Drowning Prevention Day approaches.
