INIS MOR, Ireland — Aparajita Gupta, from India, was taking in dramatic ocean views on the edge of the Aran island of Inis Mor when she was swept 45 feet (14m) into the water.
The 21-year-old was with her mother Simran at the unique rock formation known locally as Poll na bPeist, or worm hole, when the accident happened last Wednesday afternoon. “I’m just really glad to be alive,” she said from her hospital bed.
