A request for those shooting pics/video at Tellico

Forum: BoaterTalk

of the rescue/recovery operations on Jan. 1.

I personally would like to NOT see that posted anywhere on the internet. I think most others would share that opinion.

I saw at least 3 different persons with cameras out there. Hope you see this and consider the families and friends of the paddler involved.

It sounds like there were too many people around for everyone to "help". Just down the page likes

Isn't first ledge the 5' drop above Baby Falls? If so, I bet it had an enormous hole there at that level. fahimaz7 New

You do realize that people with cameras along the Tellico may not all be paddlers? <NT> lrcable New

As a person whose video is frequently on Cable TV, those involved can chose not to watch. schoolmarm New
