I suppose they could have jumped overboard and tried to swim for it, but that probably wouldn't go well. Gods only know what lives in that lake.

[He feels like they're about to find that out, judging by the chaos out there. People jumping overboard, people running into the water. It really is a mess. He stops short of getting too close- just enough where there's better lighting.]

Assuming they're still alive. [He squints, trying to see in the poor light.] Looks like they smashed the fuck out of the pier.
