LA Observed posts about the sinking of two women in Hansen Dam in soft mud that had to be rescued, but this is not new.
In 1919, two teenaged girls were caught in mud in a half-full Echo Park Lake and had to be saved, as well. The lake had been drained partially for maintenance and the two girls had ventured out to a small pond of water to catch small fish. They fell from the boards on which they stood, and a young passerby risked his own life to save them [LA Times].
Los Angeles doesn't change much... it just grows and develops the same experiences for new generations.
