Just supposition at this point, but water mains to serve a facility that size would be of a pretty fair size .. if they break in a room/portion of a building with little or no drainage, it wouldn't take long to overwhelm little ones.
Wouldn't think and elementary would have its own pool, but if it did and if it ruptured, that's another possibility.
It's just heartbreaking, no matter the cause . . .
how did these children drown? was there a basement?
Terrible...one possibilty would be that they were simply pinned down in debris in a low spot - what we might think of as a deep puddle. This is so sad.
