Just seen this. How on earth do five or six people all die at the same place on the hottest day of the year so far when it wasn't even windy?

Weird beyond belief.

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

It is unlikely in the extreme that five adults could enter the sea at Camber and all drown. It's one of the safest beaches in the SE; almost flat for miles and very shallow slope. These bodies almost certainly entered the water from out at sea, from a sunken vessel of some sort.

This is what they said had most probably caused the problems for those who died.

I wonder if part of the problem is that people are so used to the more benign (well usually!) Mediterranean or Caribbean seas that they overlook just how powerful (even when relatively calm) the waters around this island can be.

They were reported as being 'fully clothed', who would be fully clothed on a really hot day like yesterday. More like they were migrants attempting to make the crossing and their boat sank?

Nobody has reported anyone missing either all ties in with this theory doing the rounds

Not now.

My cousin was killed at 19 by a riptide about a year ago in what she had been told was a relatively safe spot and when not that far out. It happens.

She was in a group of people and 2 of them never come back.

I don't know what has happened in this instance, but it is absolutely viable that they could have been caught in a rip.
