Bachelor Party River Rafting Tragedy in Costa Rica

Gayest post evah, OP!

wonder if they were told to take the "swimmers position" in the water. Higher water means itnis faster but the rapids themselves are actually smaller then when the water is lower.

Was it the ones in the baseball caps?

These are the dead:

Whatever happened to getting drunk and hiring strippers?

Is there a refund on the catering?

This would certainly put a damper on the wedding. There will always be a black cloud hanging over their big day. Bet the bride is pissed.

no one's fault but their own

dumb asses

that bride would be a lot better off with a smarter financee

Sorry but they all look like a bunch of douches. Sixteen male friends at an international, multi-day bachelor party. What could possibly go wrong?

Did the groom die?

This story makes me sad.

R2 can you explain that more?

deeply tragic

I looked at the pic of the dead, saw the black guy and said, "is that the guy they hired to....", scrolled back up and saw "have died along with a local guide" and was like, yup, I knew it. It's amazing what you can tell about people by just glancing at them for a split second.

In the thread about biggest problems in people's lives right now, someone mentioned trouble making friends, and another person wrote:

[quote]I think it's that when you have a bookclub in a non-profit setting, anyone can show up--it must be opened to the public. And sometimes you get yucky people showing up to things.

This bachelor party looks like no yucky people were invited. And, all the guys involved look like they never have to deal with yucky people in their lives (and therefore don't).

You know a Frau is in the house when the entries are weepy and grown up. I want and expect snark.

Are the movie rights available? It could be "The Hangover" meets "Deliverance."

White guys feeling invincible again.

Only one was white, R17. The guide was black, three of the other guys were Latinx.

Datalounge loves straight guys. This is a Datalounge Loss.

Since when are Latinos not White?

I know we love to be bitchy on here....but this is just plain sad

Latinx are POC, R20.

WHY THE HELL DID THEY GO OUT THERE after days of heavy rains?

Central America is filled with hustlers and low lifes looking for an American money grab (lived there). That "guide" could have just been some local that saw an opportunity. Very sad and tragic.

friends set up gofundme to pay for their funerals. they can afford to go to costa rica but there's no money for funerals?

They were from Florida. They were doomed !

[quote]They were from Florida.

So now they truly ARE in a better place.

"Latinx" is a bullshit SJW expression. Highly doubt those swaggering bros identified as that.

"WHY THE HELL DID THEY GO OUT THERE after days of heavy rains?"

Because the Lord watches over straight people, esp. when they get married.

They deserved to die...we are better off

Florida is in the news every other day for some tragic event. Cursed land ever since it went RED.

What the hell is Latinx?

Spanx for Latinos?

Didn't a groom on his honeymoon just drown? Why are people visiting during the rainy season?!

R32 It used to be either LatinA or LatinO depending on whether you're male or female but because the world has lost it's mind and it's now a crime to acknowledge male and female (because your emotions determine whether you're one or any combination of 575 different "genders" or whether you're human or animal etc.) they've coined the term LatinX.

Gringx for gringos

They had a fat ass but they couldn't live forever.

The bro in the blue shorts is hot as fuck. The rest, meh.

R16 I almost choked reading your comment.

I’m guessing Because they paid all that money to get there, and probably had an inflexible schedule...some might have had to leave right after.

Planning a trip involving a bunch of people is a nightmare to begin with, schedule-wise.

Could have been much worse. They could have been gay.

Amateurs.

What were those fatties doing in a raft? Of course they sank. Use your head before you make horrible stupid decisions!

[QUOTE]I’m guessing Because they paid all that money to get there, and probably had an inflexible schedule...some might have had to leave right after.

Heaven forbid you just cancel and chalk it up as a loss. It sure looks like a better option than being dead.

Now if only this would happen to that stupid “therapist” gay in West Hollywood, and HIS annoying friends.

How horrible to go on an adventure and have 4 of your friends die. Some if the commenters on here should die in a grease fire saying they deserved it.

Sorry but destination weddings are mostly trouble.

The bride and groom separate their friends and family...rich from poor. How are struggling couples suppose to spring for a wedding that is in another country?

Those guys did not look Latin to me...not one of them. What were their names.

r48 Looks like the rich ones came up snake eyes on this roll!
