Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) I mihi te Whare Wānanga o Georgia ki te Tonga i te Rāhoroi i muri i te matenga o te tokorima o ngā ākonga nēhi i te rā i mua i te tukinga o tētahi waka maha e tata ana ki Savannah. Ko Caitlyn Baggett, ko Morgan Bass, ko Emily Clark, ko Abbie Deloach me Catherine (McKay) Pittman - ko nga taiohi katoa - i mate i te hinganga o te ata o te Wenerei i a ratou e haere ana ki te hohipera i Savannah, e ai ki te paetukutuku a te kura. Ko Brittney McDaniel rāua ko Megan Richards, he hoa māngai māngai, i whara, i whara hoki tētahi atu tangata, kāore i mōhiotia e te Pirihimana o Georgia. I haere nga wahine taitamariki ki te whakaoti i a rātau raupapa tuatahi o te hurihanga ā-roto. "He ra whakanui tēnei rā mō tēnei rōpū o ngā ākonga mārama", i kī te hōhipera o St. Joseph's/Candler i roto i tētahi pānuitanga Facebook. "Ko to rātau rā whakamutunga o te hurihanga ā-roto... i to rātau tau tuatahi o te kura māuiui". Kei roto i ngā akoranga haumanu te whakaako ā-ringa i tētahi whare tiaki hauora.

E rua ngā wāhine i mate i roto i ngā motokā, he Toyota Corolla me tētahi Ford Escape. Ko tētahi o ā rātau waka i mura te ahi, e ai ki a Nease, engari ka hiahiatia he rangahau hei whakatau mēnā i mate ngā wāhine i te pānga. I pūrongotia e te WTOC, te hononga o CNN i Savannah, i whakamātau tētahi kaiwhakaatu ki te āwhina. "I te wā tonu i tae mai ai ahau ki konei, ka tata te ahi ki te waka", ko tā Cayne Monroe ki te teihana. "Kua hohoro te ahi o te motokā. Na ka rere atu ahau ki reira, engari kaore he mea i taea e tetahi. Kāre rawa au i kite i tētahi mea pēnei i roto i tōku ora. He mea tino kino". E ai ki te pirihimana kāwanatanga, nō Louisiana te kaihautū taraka. Kāore te tangata 55-tau-tau i whakawakia i te ahiahi o te Rāhoroi, i kii a Nease ki a CNN.
