Dramatic footage captured a mother and two children being dragged along the water while parasailing in the Florida Keys before smashing into a bridge, killing her.
The video shows the moment a sudden storm allegedly prompted Captain Daniel Couch to cut the line connecting his ship to Supraja Alaparthi, 33, who was parasailing with her son, Sriakshith, 10, and nephew, Vishant Sadda, 9.

Alaparthi, of Schaumburg, died as a result while a local fishing guide was able to reach the injured boys and save their lives in a harrowing rescue.
