The lagoon is fed by the ocean and what is really shallow now can be over a toddler’s head within hours as the tide comes in. There have been, what? about three drownings there so far?
Toddler can drown in a five gallon bucket of water.
Actually less than one gallon.
This is so tragic, and so preventable. Given so many of these incidents in a lagoon that seems safe to visitors, the hotel needs to do a better job of warning people of the dangers. And parents should know better — is it so hard to keep your eyes on your kids when they’re in the water?
Hotel places the shareholders before the customer.
There ya go. Shift the blame.
They need to be in the water with them. When children are downing it can be hard to tell because they don’t always call out. In fact they call out more when they are fine. A bystander brought them in? That makes me wonder what the parents were doing.
Typical government and Wall Street’s management focusing on the bottom line instead of protecting the consumer. Spend some money on more security.
B.S. Where the heck are their parents! Would you let a 5 and 7 year run around the mall on their own because there is mall security? You sound like the type of guy that lives a dangerous life and when you get hurt, you blame it on the lack of laws, rules and enforcement.
BULL, the parents are the ones that should be responsible.
You need to take your meds. You are really full of it today. More than usual!
Where were these children parents?
at the tiki bar
Haven’t they stationed life guards at this location yet?, absolutely inexcusable, where is their liability insurance carrier demanding they do something or else they will cancel the coverage, three drownings only?, try 15-20 over a span of the last decade.
It is my understanding the lagoon is part of the public beach in that area, it does not belong to Hilton.
Article title states, “Waikiki’s Hilton lagoon.”
If you think you know more, post credible references backing up your claims. Let the truth be known.
Actually, the lagoon belongs to the state.
“..Hilton Hawaii Village Waikiki Beach Resort’s lagoon..” Do the GREEDY WALL STREET ZIONIST PIGS think they can steal everything?! That’s the : “DUKE PAOA KAHANAMOKU Lagoon”.
Hilton didn’t steal it or even calls it the Hilton Lagoon (read Hilton webpages, they refer to it as the Duke Kahanamaoku Beach and Lagoon). SA and everybody else calls it Hilton Lagoon because the majority of the populace has no idea who Duke Paoa Kahanamaoku is. If SA used that name, people would google what lagoon SA was talking about. So, to make easy and recognizable, they use Hilton Lagoon.
“ZIONIST” ??
Please.
Why isn’t the Hilton required to have a lifeguard at their lagoon? It’s marketed as a family attraction and it’s completely foreseeable that children in need of water safety supervision would be there. They also seem to have a fair number of older guests in trouble in the lagoon.
CPS needs to investigate the irresponsible parents who willfully failed to watch over their children, were not doing their job as protective parents.
