When the Garcia family set out for a visit to Tonto Natural Bridge, they decided to stop by the Water Wheel in Payson, Arizona. What began as a joyful and typical family outing quickly turned into a nightmare when a monsoon struck, unleashing a massive flash flood that surged toward the Water Wheel.

God spared this man for a reason! So sad bout the others. 😢
Omg…the video of all those hearses. Thats heartbreaking
I actually cried from this. Very sad and unfortunate
This is the opposite of Ebert's ordeal
Pure poetry in the narration.😊
a flash flood is not water? Yes it is actually
My Heart and prayers go out to the Garcia family. So sad and sorry for your loss God Bless you All.❤
Wow, glad you and Lucky survived !!
The outdoors is not a human being and so when injury or death occurs when most of the time the fault lays on us . The family had no hiking or outdoor experience. Sorry for the tragedy .
Poor dog
I’m slowly becoming a fan of this channel!
Good going and thanks for real stories wish you the best
May they all Rest in peace. 🙏❤
My friends and I were there a week before. So sad.
I cannot begin to imagine the depth of their grief. I am grateful that there are changes to help prevent future losses like these and that there is a memorial to lives taken far too soon.
Very, very tragic. 😢
Heartbreaking story.
Breaks my heart. This poor family. RIP Garcia family fly high.❤❤
Monsoon season really is that scary.
I played in creeks growing up a lot. My heart just breaks for this family. I now have a total appreciation for the dangers of flash flooding. 😢
Not one picture of Lucky as a survivor?!
What a sad story. Can't imagine what this family went through. Poor Marina, she's gonna be traumatized for life by this ordeal. My heart goes out to Cesar and his family. I know is a hard pill to swallow. You always deliver OD, thanks for bringing us another great but sad story.
Reading the comments, I find it highly disturbing that the dog gets more sighs of relief than the 1 year old girl. Seriously, wtf.
How about pronouncing Mogollon correctly.
Very slow and you drag it out
How can the survivors learn to live with so many losses of loved ones.
Thank you for another interesting video. That poor family, such a devastating tragedy.
Wow this is such a tragedy. 10 family members taken so fast 😢
God bless that sweet dad for clenching onto his baby. He’s a hero. You can tell he’s an amazing father.
Beautiful miracle about you and Lucky❤❤
Don't tell Greta.
It's global warming they say .
Raised 24 million so far ?
What they spend on.
New lips, hips, and ti, ts .and bottoms
Crazy
This one really broke my heart😢
This is a particularly harrowing and desperately sad story. With quite a few of these stories the tragedies were caused by overconfidence or plain stupidity, this was just a family enjoying a fun day out. There was nothing they could have done to avoid this. May they RIP..
Condolences to & prayers for this family. As haunting as these stories are, the people are so relatable. Their cruel fates could happen to most any of us… hope I'm never on here.
Oh how awful 😭 my heart goes out to this family
