swim in the river Vorskla close to shore, where tall trees grow old, dangerous, even near the city. In this I am convinced personally. Last Thursday, my daughter rested on the central beach of Poltava (the one near the bridge trolleybus, although in general it is the beach of Leninsky district of the city). We have already naplavalisya, came ashore and started to go home. Suddenly attention was attracted by a loud noise, came from the opposite shore. Before our eyes, leaned tall old tree, which stood at the edge of a steep bank opposite, and began to fall into the water.
worst thing is that very close - just a few meters from the crash site a giant floating two. They were lucky - a giant wood has not touched them or trunk, or crown. Swimmers desperately, how to fast paddling with his hands, walking away from the scene. They are probably very scared, and then at night he had nightmares. But the nightmare into a dream - it's better than reality. Most of the timber, which is then quickly and with a loud noise flopped into the water, drowned, but the one that was closer to the root, is seen.
The next day my daughter went to the beach again as I always took my inhaler and grabbed with a camera ... Several of the same tree as the one that fell, still stand in the place (these trees were growing, "flock", or - group). Collapsed into the water, that was from the edge of the water. But others are dangerously close to the edge of the shore ... Apparently, in a quiet, windless weather, the tree fell, bank because much substitution. To wash the shore, in particular, and what the river, along the beach zone, despite warnings from environmentalists, from time to time flying back and forth at breakneck speed boats, creating waves like the sea. A timber may also have grown older and protruhla ...
Apparently, there's something to work on a number of services. Of course, every year on the beaches examined the river bottom, remove the debris on the shore, trying to create a certain facility. But this case has shown that trees growing near, you should pay attention. And the first and most simple thing to do - is to warn people not to swim near the shore on which the trees grow old, perhaps, to put buoys, hang boards with warnings ...
Those people who just do not fall into the water falling from the top under a huge tree probably has never to sail. But the next day after the fall of the tree in that place again floated the people who obviously do not know what had happened before.
