[edit] Sources/bias

Last two paragraphs seem quite biased, does creator or others have any links to press on the subject? Stifle 01:45, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Sources indeed. Her age seems to be confused - 13 in one paragraph, 12 in the next. -- Anonymous 2:20, Jan 12, 2007 (EST)

Seems better now. Stifle (talk) 21:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Agreed on the sources issue. Unfortunately, most links on her available online are in Spanish. --Lendorien 14:16, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccurate

Detail about the pump needs to be historically verified; mention of a pump is only referred to in the short story adaptation of this event "And of Clay Are We Created" and not necessarily in real events. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.8.4.236 (talk • contribs) 18:19, 21 April 2007.

[edit] Why could she not be saved?

If this photo could be taken, please explain, why could she not be saved? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.107.133.3 (talk • contribs) 15:38, 21 June 2007.

I dont get it either. There must have been horribly unlucky circumstances. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.37.43.110 (talk) 23:54, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

The article seems to point out that her legs were trapped under the water, and amputation would be the only way to remove her. Also the fact that there was no available surgeon to perform the procedure is what I would call "horribly unlucky circumstances".Quase 21:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] If I remember correctly

This year was Univisons 25th anniversery. They have the video. The girl was very relaxed and calm in the water. I do believe they tied whatever was keeping her down to a crane and the rope broke. They interview her grandmother about the whole ordeal for the special. It is a famous video. You got to also remember that everyhing was in ruins and even roads were probably closed off to several of the survivors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.136.187 (talk) 02:47, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
