A small child floats alone in the Mediterranean on an inflatable unicorn. This video is not fake! Luckily the story ended well.
It should be a warning to anyone who lets their child play unsupervised in the sea: off the coast of Greece, a child floats into the open sea with his inflatable unicorn. There is a video of the rescue operation that is widely shared on social media.
What happened: A little girl on a large inflatable unicorn was swept away by the ocean currents. The incident occurred on Sunday in the sea area off the town of Antirio in the Gulf of Corith.

When the parents noticed this, it was already too late for them to save the child on their own and so they informed the port authorities. These in turn informed the ships in the area, including the local ferry “Salaminomachos”.
In the end, it was the ferry captain and his crew members who saved both the girl and the inflatable unicorn.

Nothing happened to the girl; she was immediately handed back to her parents after the rescue operation.
Unicorn as an island in the current
Strong currents in the sea can be very dangerous, and not just for children! In this case the girl had her unicorn as an island. A swimmer who gets caught in such a current may be prone to misbehavior, which can result in death.
That's why there is always advice on how to behave correctly in such cases so that you don't end up drowning from exhaustion. On the MDR-Brisant you can find out:

The German Red Cross water rescue service advises not to swim against the current towards the shore. This rarely leads to success and is also very exhausting.
It makes more sense to let the current push you out while lying on your back and then swim out of the suction parallel to the waves.
