The crocodile, the twins and the bond that saved them

After travelling to Mexico for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, twins Georgia and Melissa are swimming in a lagoon, when one of them is dragged under.

In 2021, twins Georgia and Melissa Laurie set off on an adventure to Mexico for some sisterly bonding. Whilst on their travels they stopped at the coastal town of Puerto Escondido where they planned to visit a nearby lagoon and experience the bioluminescent waters. The day was hot so the sisters went for a swim but soon found themselves in a terrifying fight for survival; in that moment, and the years that followed, their love for each other kept them alive.

Georgia has since been recognised for her bravery that day and is the recipient of the King's Gallantry Medal 2024.
