It is often invaluable to have a record of situations, especially accidents because they can serve as proof and evidence. That is, at least, for the person involved in the incident. However, a person who was watching the lake from their apartment decided to make a very interesting sequence of photos. This photographer captured the entire rescue of a sailing boat on Tempe Town Lake, Arizona. They look like someone’s vacation slideshow.
Redditor mf1sh shared on r/phoenix, and they were excited as they witnessed the tactical maneuvers of a boat getting out of the lake and its rescuers. According to OP, they were looking out through the window at Tempe Town Lake in Arizona when they noticed a particular sailing boat, and the driver began to wave their hands for rescue. OP says they were ready to talk to emergency services as they continued to take pictures. Luckily, the boat managed to get back on its feet. So, OP relaxed for a moment until the boat went down again, but fortunately, a boat quickly approached to assist and pull the sailing boat out of the water.
According to OP, everyone involved in the accident got out of the lake safe and sound, while some users were discussing whether it was a certification test or a real accident because the boat tripped two times. Others were concerned about the water quality of that specific lake:
They gonna be shi**ing for days 😂

This and other comments make me think that the lake is either very dirty or incredibly polluted.
I wander if they start glowing at night after a swim in that water.

At least the sailing boat driver was not hurt during the rescue, but I hope they still went to the hospital for a check-up. Or at least they took a good bath and something to protect them from all the water they came in contact with and/or swallowed.
