However, when Georgia did not notice her sister ashore, she was forced to return to the water. She immediately took action and attacked the crocodile by punching it several times until it left.

Georgia explained in an interview that Melissa had been the one to alert other swimmers of the presence of the Crocodile, and everyone quickly left the water. It was unfortunate that the crocodile got Melissa.

28-year-old Georgia noted that after calling her sister severally with no response, she decided to try and get to her. As Georgia searched for her friends, she noticed Melissa's body floating towards her.

While Georgia sustained mild injuries, Melissa was severely attacked and was in an induced coma for a while.

Thanks to the rescue training she had, she tried to revive Melissa. According to Georgia, after the attack, Melissa remembered being pulled by a Crocodile. During the incident, she felt like her arm was disjointed from her body.

The sisters sustained several injuries during the attack, but thankfully they are both faring well. Their parents, Sean and Sue Laurie, flew to Mexico City to support the twin sisters after the incident.

Georgia also stated that Melissa is still recovering and is still unable to take solid food substances. She noted that the fracture in Melissa's arm and her movements still needed monitoring.

Melissa had a lot of dirt in her system, mud, and grass from the water she swallowed and through the injuries she sustained during the attack. Georgia hopes her sister would recover faster.

According to witnesses, the ladies were swimming in the Manialtepec Lagoon near Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca when the animal attacked. While Georgia sustained mild injuries, Melissa was severely attacked and was in an induced coma for a while.

The Manialtepec Lagoon is well known for its brackish waters and stands of mangroves. Silva, the local civil defense office head, noted that the crocodile could have been a female who was only trying to protect her nest.
