The teenagers, none of who could swim, had one life jacket between them, according to AOL News. The report said they drowned after venturing into an unfamiliar area that had a 20-foot drop-off along the river bank, according to assistant fire Chief Fred Sanders.
None of their family members could swim and had to watch their children lose their lives on what apparently was an outing for some 20 youngsters.
