Drowning girl is spotted on bottom of pool by new high-tech system that watches over swimmers
A girl has been saved from drowning by an extraordinary computer system that keeps an eye on everybody in a swimming pool.
The girl was pulled unconscious from 12ft of water at the deep end of a public pool in Bangor, North Wales, when underwater cameras spotted that she was not moving and alerted a lifeguard. The lifeguard could not see the girl in the crowded pool but was able to respond to the alert within seconds.
