Barely 24 hours after Kamilla Belyatskaya, a Russian actress tragically lost her life after she was swept away by a huge wave from the rocky cliff she was meditating on, 3 local swimmers escaped drowning by the whiskers after they were nearly washed away by raging waves in the North Shore in Oahu, Hawaii.
The video of the ordeal was captured by a visitor and surfing expert on his mobile phone. It showed the three men swimming on the shores of the beach when a massive wave first knocked them down. Watch below:
They got up and while still processing the event, the huge waves continued slamming on the rocky beach, washing two of the men away. Both men disappeared underwater while the third reached for safety ashore.
Luckily, the Honolulu Ocean Safety said all three survived but had deep cuts from colliding with rocks.
The Russian actress and yoga enthusiast who drowned on November 29 was buried today at Wat Si Thaweep Island, in Tambon Ang Thong – Surat Thani, in Thailand.
Water authorities have cautioned visitors coming to the place to be weary of turbulent waves while surfing. The North Shore, where the latest incident happened is known for its massive waves that can reach 6 feet to as high as 30 feet.
