No, she died as a - Result - of Internal Hemorrhaging caused by a Strike from a Boat that was driven by a Person in an Accident. You must be very responsible to never have had an accident, Remote Viewer. Nobody did anything to her; she only died as a result of her own injuries.
What evidence of carelessness or recklessness do you have?
@@lameetcalice3845Are you serious? She didn’t die of her own injuries, she died from injuries inflicted by an un responsible person who fled the accident theme.
RIP little angel. You are not forgotten. 😢❤
Garvey Dormitiabis struck the boat
It’s sometimes impossible to see a skier who is sitting low in the water, waiting for their boat to start and then pick up speed. Any time a skier is down in the water, having either ceased skiing or preparing to ski, there’s supposed to be a spotter waving a red warning flag on the ski boat. The spotter’s job is to keep an eye on the status and location of the skier and to keep the ski boat’s driver aware of approaching vessels. But sometimes ski boaters don’t bother with spotters or flags. It’s always best for any approaching boat driver to give any ski boat a wide berth, since that ski boat’s users might not be following the rules of safe water skiing.
Thank you, you seem to be the only other person that actually listened to the news report. She was strapped into her board and getting ready to yell HIT IT. Takes a minute or two sometimes if the waves are choppy with the rider trying to get straightened out and the boat to get the slack out of the line. Just your head and shoulders and maybe half your board are visible which is dangerous if flags aren't being used and other boats are not paying attention.
Sounds like it was a very bad place to ski anyway. We always use spotters but I've never heard of the flag thing. Typically we're the only boat on the lake though
How about giving ANY boat a wider berth?? A large boat should NEVER come that close to a smaller boat!
Also, where the heck were they skiing at? In the middle of open busy traffic water? When we ski in a lake we make damn sure no other boats are anywhere near us! The incident looks like it took place in an area that resembles the open water that leads into the entry area for the marina in Lake Havasu, AZ....you need to find a Cove or an area way off to the side somewhere when you're going to pull a skier You can't just have boats flying around all over the place where you're pulling someone. And the FLAGS... they should have been waving like CRAZY in water like THAT.
So so sad. God comfort her family and friends as they mourn this loss :(
Well she was definitely not behind a ski boat. I have lived in Florida almost all of my life. I kept a 32 footer and a jet boat down at the Fort Pierce Marina and I have never seen anyone use a red flag. When I am diving we use a diver down flag.
My deepest sympathies and condolences to the family.

Damn people don’t even know how to drive a damn boat without hitting someone smh. We got a serious problem in this country with idiots not knowing how to drive
I refer to them as DUMBASSES but totally agree with you.
You just preached the Gospel. Some people are driving insane. Forcing themselves in lanes causing people to hit their brakes so they don't get hit and then get hit in the back because people driving to fast and bumper to bumper. That to me is attempted murder at 70 MPH. I was a OTR Driver and I retired early because of the way morons are driving including Truck Drivers.
Landlubber.
most people with boats don't have a clue how to operate them. now just imagine those jackasses with firearms
PROBABLE THE SAME KIDS THAT WERE DUMPING TRASH IN THE OCEAN A FEW DAYS AGO
That is the fastest after death funeral I've ever heard of - poor girl.
It depends on someone's religion.
I thought the same
very fast
That's what I was thinking. Condolences to her family and friends.
@@cyyrious She's Jewish. Traditionally, Jewish burial is supposed to take place 24 hours after the death.
How do you hit someone water skiing? Sounds like somebody is going to prison.
Drunk im sure, all these morons vacation here & act stupid
@@Velllsails2 Your question is nonsensical
@@Velllsails2 You really have no choice where or how fast a boat is pulling you unless you let go
Because jet skiers don't pay attention to what they are doing. They are like motorcycle riders. They think everyone else should have to watch out for them so they can do whatever they want.
Alcohol and self-indulgence.
Prayers for her family and friends. Such a beautiful young lady who was very loved. May God bring comfort, peace and justice.
God? So, it wasnt GOD who allowed this to happen but he is the person to bring peace and justice. what a great god. useless at best and evil . Look on the bright side, you cant meet God without dying so maybe thats why he allowed it to happen which is a good thing if you believe the nonsense about what you pray to

The boat that hit her is described so vaguely that it is hard to believe. There has to be more to this.
Yeah, I bet she fell, the towing boat took a large loop around, and that's when the accident happened. No way did she have the rope, the description of the boat would have been clear. 2 or 4 outboard, how do we know it didn't have 1 or 3 given the discrepancy
The people on the towing boat would be in shock, so it’s not surprising that they’re not exact in their descriptions.
Garvey Dormitiabis struck the boat
@@NealBurkard-ut1oo apparently she was just about to tell the boat to go she was all ready. I also thought she had fallen and was just waiting for the boat to circle back.
@@timdowney6721there was 13 of them onboard. All young…. Yet zero video of the accident. These days the odds of 13 young people on a boat and not one recording is very low.
So tragic! My heart goes out to her family.

Garvey Dormitiabis struck the boat
As a life-long river boater who has pulled dozens of skiers, I have to think it's partly the fault of the tow-boat driver, it's their responsibility to keep their skier safe, if there are approaching boats around they have to steer way clear of traffic, which I have to believe was highly visible this far off shore. If their skier goes down they immediately have to turn around and protect the skier, if that means getting between the downed skier and the approaching boat, so be it. If they neglected to have an observer to immediately yell "Down!" o the drive can take protective action, they are both partly at fault. Also, if there is any kind of traffic the skier must be trained, when they fall, to remove their board or ski and hold it as high as they can to let traffic see them and steer clear. Of course, there could have been lapse of judgment and alcohol in both drivers, and poor training of the skier. The jury is out, but downed skiers are hard to see amongst the chop if they don't hold their ski up or the towboat doesn't raise their red/orange ski flag high as soon as the skier goes down. Lot of blame to go around, but the driver who hit the skier should have been way clear of towboat activity. If the towboat was slow to know they had a downed skier and turn around, and if they didn't raise a flag, or the skier didn't raise their board, they were asking for trouble. No excuse for drinking or a hit and run...but don't put all the blame in one place when you don't know the facts.
Garvey Dormitiabis struck the boat
Senseless! That poor family, how devastating.
Who was steering that boat? Was that person drunk? How could you not see her.
As I said above:
Some boats, aircraft, etc. have a large blind spot directly in front, so that you can't see anything within 10 seconds from impact, for example... you are basing your forward clearance on what you are observing 10 seconds out ahead of you.
May even be a chance that they didn't even KNOW that they hit her.
They shouldn’t even be that close to the boat.
It's not like driving a car. I just don't understand how congested it could be
Definitely drunk it's broad daylight
Waves. Not watching. Hard to say
Why did the school "identify" her? Why didn't her parents? Why is the school making statements?
Garvey Dormitiabis struck the boat
This happened to a girl i went to school with. She was getting ready for her boat to take off and pull her up to ski and another boat ram over her. Cut her keg off and she bleed out before she could get to a hospital. She was cheer leader and always was so nice to everyone. Big lose
Garvey Dormitiabis struck the boat
How awful 😞
@@chantalle7340 Garvey did bad things to the 15 year old
Sounds like both people driving boats had no business driving. Neither knew rules of the water.
You just summarized the South Florida boating scene in a nutshell
What makes you think the person driving the ski boat did anything wrong?
Correct
@@rinlo1424 idk if it's illegal but it clearly seems they were in an area that was unsafe for skiing. A person floating in the water bobbing from the waves it's actually harder to see than some realize
Ski in a desolate cove. And that doesn't look like a ski boat @@NealBurkard-ut1oo
My deepest condolences to Ella's family, extended family friends and dance friends. This is so sad. Such a young life.
She went from talking about tragedy to her being a dancer.....this whole story is horrible and the reporter didnt help

God bless this woman's family and loved ones. Sorry for your loss.
This is so sad .. prayers for the family ..
Just a thought, RIP young Ella. So young, her promise was taken and I pray for her family. God Bless.
So nobody took pictures or record the boat that hit her and left the scene?
Garvey Dormitiabis struck the boat
As soon as the skier is down the driver should cut power whip a U turn and get back to the skier pronto I don't see how the offending boat could be that close no boat should follow a boat towing a skier and if so the towing driver should take evasive actions. I've seen inexperienced drivers stay on the power and make a wide turn back to the skier leaving out in the open perhaps both drivers are at fault
I don't see an orange flag on the ski boat either
The wording of the story to me sounds like she was getting lined up and ready to yell HIT IT. But 100% yes about people not paying attention. A tiny bit of common sense will tip you off which boats are towing skiers and others should give them a very wide berth to avoid anyone who could be in the water.
@@NickKautz
The operator of a vessel towing someone on skis or another aquaplaning device must either have an observer, in addition to the operator, on board who is attendant to the actions of the skier or have and use a wide-angle rear-view mirror.
No one may ski or aquaplane between the hours of 1/2 hour past sunset and 1/2 hour before sunrise.
No one may water ski or use another aquaplaning device unless they are wearing a U.S. Coast Guard-approved non-inflatable wearable personal flotation device (PFD). Inflatable PFDs are prohibited for skiing/aquaplaning.
No one may ski or use another aquaplaning device while impaired by alcohol or other drugs.
The operator of a vessel towing a skier may not pull the skier close enough to a fixed object or another vessel that there is risk of collision.
That's the most likely scenario. It also seems too busy to water ski
@@NickKautz That's not a ski boat.
Hard to believe that this wasn’t captured on a cellphone video.
Ikr, It does seem weird nowadays, They'll find it eventually on someones phone. Or not
@@rantman4521 It would show a boat driving by, with a normal looking driver and probably passengers enjoying their day.
@@NickKautz Garvey Dormitiabis struck the boat
@@NickKautz Guess they found the boat.
@@rantman4521 Yeah , just as I suspected... the guy had no idea it even happened. No passengers though.
supposed to be holding a flag high for boats to know there is someone in the water
Thats just for divers
@@mia1shooter I thought the diver down flag is used for skiers in the water as well.
Also probably not a good idea to be zooming past boats within the length of a ski rope. It's not like Biscayne Bay is a tiny inlet where watercraft that size have to squeeze by each other.
@@jjc4577used for snorkelers as well
@@jjc4577 I dive and ski and I have never heard of it being used for skiing. When you dive it's in the water on top of you, not on a boat. I also live on the Space Coast. We don't ski in the ocean.
When I got my open water cert in 2011 in Ft. Lauderdale, one of the first things I was told by fellow experienced divers was to watch boat traffic like a hawk after surfacing while waiting to be picked up by the dive boat. They all told me to err on the side of caution and give myself plenty of time to submerge if a boat wasn't diverting its course. It's why I love Pennekamp; i.e. most of the boats out there are fellow dive boats.
She was very beautiful inside and out. Sympathies to her family and friends.
The driver was most likely drinking and that's why they took off. Well, someone somewhere knows who this person is and they need to do the right thing and turn this person in. What a shame.
If it was a big boat and they probably did not see her and/or hear her with 4 outboard engines. The water was rough water and the bow of the boat is up. No one will ever know until someone comes forward. In that area it looks like it's going to be hard to trace the boat. She was worse that a sitting duck because ducks don't sit in the middle of ocean. Super sad regardless.

@@julin2rs548 Garvey Dormitiabis struck the boat
The driver may not know they hit someone. She would have been hard to see crouched on her board waiting for the tow boat to start and we don't know if they even had a spotter with a ski flag.
that boat that hit her had to almost hit the boat pulling her. the rope isnt 1000 feet long.
True 50 to 75 feet. It could be that the driver did not cut power and immediately U turn back to the downed skier a good driver can get back to the skier in a matter of seconds I've seen rookies stay on power and take a wide turn leaving the skier out in the open
The phrasing of the story sounds like she was floating at the end of the tow line getting lined up to yell HIT IT. But yes, 35 to 75 feet behind the boat depending on rider preferences.
She could have fell and the boat towing had to loop around. If that were the case, it would make her harder to spot
@@NealBurkard-ut1oo A good driver can get back to the fallen skier in a matter of seconds and while doing so still be in the skiers line of sight meaning an on coming boat even if he doesn't see the skier has a boat in his way
happened before and some hit rocks or something or killed by propellers just by seconds one way or the other w all that space in the water just like car wrecks trian wrecks not as random but usually seconds wrong place ony seconds cause this/i once had my car door hit by a bus it blew open in the wind i didnt see bus on a big street so afew seconds later itdsosent happen
Questions NBC News never bothers to ask.
1. Nobody took a photograph of the fleeing boat?
2. Nobody with experience likes to water ski in choppy water. Perhaps the other boat didn't expect or notice a head bobbing between the waves.
3. What were the alleged observers doing on the ski boat?
4. How far was the skier from the ski boat when the other boat hit her?
what you ask requires common sense. news is only interested in sensationalism not common sense questions and answers

@@verysimlpesimon Garvey Dormitiabis struck the boat
How much you wanna bet the ski/tow boat/yacht gets SUED? They had no business skiing or tubing in the ocean. And the tow boat is basically a large yacht not meant for towing. The type of boat screams new boater. Towing skiers and inflatables takes experience. The choppy ocean is no place for it.

i have had boats towing skiers on our big lake, come past my sitting boat not even 50 feet...with water skiers or towed craft. this was BEFORE our sherif started patrolling our big lake. lots of drunk drivers were getting drowned before. many other times i have seen boats deliberately following skiers like 100 or 200 feet behind the towed craft or device and towing boat driver and passengers doing nothing about it. drunk or callous idiots driving super unsafely at anytime is cause of these deaths. clueless impotent tow boat drivers as well. no flag up, no loud warning horn to blow, and way to darn slow to circle back to protect the person down in the water.

Horrible Sending Prayers
Boating accidents are common among people who are not qualified to operate boats.
The driver of the vessel is probably not even aware that he hit anything.
Yup and everything is so loud
You have to pass all kinds of tests to get a driver's license. But any fool can jump behind the controls of a boat and start zooming around the water.
Florida needs a boating license law modeled after the law to operate a motor vehicle--same reason for both (public safety).
Very sorry! Very sad! 💪❤️💔🙏
I suspect an auto pilot was in use , driver may have not known but I also hope justice prevails.
Multi prop hills scare me as they will do more damage to anybody who goes in between them.
auto pilot in a bay with boats, jets skis, divers, skiers? It sounds reckless
Awful😢
Blessings n prayers n condolences.
So sad. In my prayers.
People!! She wasn't up on the skis skiing! She had fallen so she was in the water with most likely just her head above water, so the boat that hit her most likely had no clue they hit her! You can see in the photo taken right after it happened that the water was not calm, it was choppy, and that is enough to mask a person in the water. Meaning, It makes it really hard for boaters to see a person in the water. This was just an awful accident, the police have the boat that they believe hit her, and the person it belongs to.
What the hell is a fifteen year old doing waterskiing? So very dangerous!

So sad. Such a beautiful talented girl dying in this way
Very sad 😢
Two to Four outboard engines; accurate? Defining? Light blue or white with a blue bottom?
No one in the boat of the water skier even got a pic of the boat that hit and killed/murdered her?
Maybe they accidentally ran over her themselves and made up this story
How terrible!! So so sad 😢 sincere condolences to the grieving family and full punishment to the horrible boat driver who ran from the scene❗️🤦♀️😢
I am not sure about Florida but in my state you don’t have to take a course or any test to drive a boat. It is not the same as driving a car.
Never, ever water ski in the Ocean. No bueno.
Just the JAWS factor alone is no-go for me.
