On Sunday 25 Sept. We lost our dear friends Travis Issac & Kareem Smith at Concord Waterfall. Travis worked with yachts and was very strong swimmer, even he couldn't overcome the force of the waterfall. For decades we've lost our love ones due to the dangerous currents at concord. It's clear that it's not suitable for swimming. Let's petition our government to put a ban on swimming at concord.

The stories shared by others who have experienced the danger of these waters reinforce the necessity of our goal. I am currently compiling these accounts to present a clear case to the local authorities about the hidden risks present at the falls.

I also lost my uncle in Concord years ago he died saving his girlfriend. I never even got the chance to meet him.
I believe that structures should be erected that would only allow viewing of the waterfall while keeping persons away from the body of water. A no swimming sign would not be sufficient if people aren't aware of the risks and the loss of so many lives over the years.
To many young lives has been lost at this falls an our ppl are not train properly to do CPR so let's stand up for our nation children no more swimming
My best friends lost their lives, and on his birthday too. I've lost other friends to that falls at Concord as well. It's not a safe place to swim!!
I've lost my two dear friends at concord waterfall and I don't want to hear that happen to anyone else in the future. The woman in charged said travis and kaream was numbers 8 and 9 to be victims of the concord waterfall. It shouldn't have a 10th I felt the currents myself and struggled for my own life. Concord waterfall is not a safe place and not a place suitable for swimming
Stop swimming at Concord waterfall!!!
