The tourists on the shore were all terrified when they witnessed this shocking scene, but because the current was too strong, no one dared to go into the water to save people, and watched the family disappear into the torrent one by one.

It is reported that only two of the seven members of the family managed to swim back to shore and save their lives. The local police later found the bodies of three people in the reservoir, and the whereabouts of the two people are still unknown.
