"What follows is the most detailed description to date of the events that took the lives of more than two dozen campers and counselors, and the elder Mr. Eastland, at the 99-year-old summer retreat. The descriptions and rendering of those events were taken from the first interviews that Camp Mystic's owners have granted, along with never-before-seen videos and photos taken during flooding at the camp, data from devices such as Apple watches, cell phones and vehicle crash data, and court documents from a lawsuit filed by some of the parents of children who died."
"The animated water flow and photos help you understand the scale and speed of the flooding, in relation to the 28 lives lost. Tragic from every angle."
Camp Mystic, a 99-year-old summer retreat, experienced sudden, deadly flooding that claimed more than two dozen campers and counselors and an elder named Mr. Eastland. The reconstruction combines first interviews with camp owners, never-before-seen videos and photos captured during the flooding, device data from Apple watches and cell phones, vehicle crash data, and court documents from a lawsuit by some bereaved parents. Animated water-flow renderings and photographic evidence convey the speed and scale of the flood and show how rapidly conditions became fatal, resulting in 28 confirmed deaths and profound tragedy.
