Sneaky's Daily Did You Know....? - Unhappy Endings

Six people drowned in Southern Egypt in 1997 while trying to rescue a chicken that had fallen into a 60ft well. An 18 year old farmer was first to go in after the chicken, but drowned in the strong undercurrents. His sister and two brothers, non of whom could swim well, went in one by one to help him, but also drowned. Finally tow elderly farmers went to help, but met a similar fate. After the six bodies were pulled from the well, the chicken was also brought out...alive.
