Two young women, age 25, drowned in a low-head (weir) dam just over a week ago:

Here is a selfie that they took together moments before they went screaming to their deaths:

In spite of this horrible tragedy, it was a chance for the authorities to publicize some much needed safety information:

Both bodies have been recovered, although, one of the women remained lost in the river for over a week, as her remains slowly drifted downstream into an adjoining county.
