In Short: The Guardian's report on the snorkeling accident and the Times of Israel's report on the Kibbutz Brur Hayil accident both underscored the unpredictable and often tragic nature of accidents.
The Guardian reported that a 36-year-old British woman died after a strong current swept away her two sons while they were snorkeling off North Bimini, an island near Miami.
