Acrobatic Coolness of Young People
On hot summer days in Adana, young people flock to irrigation canals and try different methods to cool down. Young people jumping into the irrigation canal in Yüreğir district are making their hearts sing with their acrobatic moves. Young people who somersault from the bridge over the canal and jump into the water experience moments full of courage and excitement.
“Adana Airlines” Analogy
Young people compare themselves to “Adana Airlines” while cooling off by jumping into the canal. Young people who have been swimming in canals for years and are overwhelmed by the heat have found their own way of cooling down in Adana, where the temperature reaches 50 degrees. The young people, who jump into the water as if they were flying with their acrobatic moves, show their courage by saying “We are Adana Airlines, too.”
Mustafa Aslan:“We are from Adana. What should we do? We are swimming. It is 50 degrees in Adana, it is burning here. Danger is in our name. We are from Adana. We are not afraid of anyone. Those who do not know How to swim drown. Everyone swims, those who know how to swim do not drown. It is better than 50-60 people enter a pool. “At least the stream water is cleaner.”
Ahmet Demir:“Adana is hot, we are burning. I have been swimming for 6 years. Those who do not know how to swim are drowning. How many times have they saved children? Pools are expensive, if the municipality builds them, we will go and “Be very happy. Our friends are drowning and dying, but those who know how to swim cannot drown. If there is Turkish Airlines, we are Adana Airlines.”
