No matter what he did, he will always have to live with the sad choice he had to make, till the end of his days, the whole family will.

I dont think there is a right or wrong answer - you could save one and sacrifice the other is an old dilemma - thinking coldly about it the one with the best chance of survival should be saved first without putting your own life in danger of being lost - I would save my wife first - and learn to live with the loss of my child and with my own selfish guilt - blimey ive gone all maudlin thinking about this one 
I don't think anyone reading this could not be deeply upset at the possibility that they might find themselves in that position one day. Maybe the answer would be to save his wife. It is no substitution for the loss of a child but hopefully they would be young enough and able to have another child. Taking the alternative would rule this out.
We pass on our hopes that it will never happen to anyone.

Its really awful. How can anyone come to terms with it. To lose ones child, and like that,must be so dreadful I can only imagine how the poor man and his family must feel.
I think that as a mother, I would have gone for the child first, having said that, you just don't know until it happens, and God forbid it ever does.

How horrible is that!!! It's a choice I hope I never have to make, I dont think I could ... I suppose it is a spur of the moment decision depending on the circumstances at the time??
Bless him, he'll be haunted by his decision forever :sad:

Agreed with everyone's points made so far but no one has commented on the distasteful headline that Sky came up with... it makes me wonder how some reporter's manage to sleep at night... "Dad Abandons Drowning Son To Save Wife"... I mean... just how sick is that headline!
Hello old friends... decided to pay a visit.

That's exactly my first thought... one of the girls at work read this to us yesterday and the headline from where she got it was even worse. Seriously... some respect required from the rags.
Hello btw

That sad reporter was just out to make a buck............he would have been quite happy writing.......dad abandons drowning wife to save son!!!
From what ive read the poor guy made the right decision as even the professionals couldnt have saved his son!!! At least they have each other to help get over this tragic accident.
Sex God
the poor poor guy i can't even begin to imagine how i would make a decision i think i would go for my son first but unless in that situation where you have so many split second decisions to make then you can never truelly call it
life throws such utterly cruel curve balls at us

My initial reaction- and undoubted real life reaction would be to save my child. I would hope my husband would do the same. However, it looks like this wasn't a straightforward "One or the other" scenario- he couldn't get to his son, but he could save his wife- so he did what was rational.
Anyone seen the Will Smith film, I, Robot? The film features a startlingly similar incident. A robot choses to save Will Smith rather than a small child after a car plunges into a river- he makes the choice based on survival probability.
Brucie- I think you'd find that it's not down to simply "being German"- after all, the leader of the Nazis's wasn't.
And no, he wasn't from the Alsace, either.
