There�s madness and pandemonium at Bondi on a busy Sunday when a flash rip sweeps dozens of swimmers out of the flags and into deep water. Lifeguards are overwhelmed by the mass rescue, and one man is dragged unconscious from the water. With the treacherous conditions, Hoppo makes the call to pull the flags down and close the beach. Thousands of swimmers crowd the shoreline and in the simmering tension a fight breaks out. The crowd mobs lifeguards treating a spinal as rescues continue in the water.After "Mad Sunday" all eyes are focussed on Lifeguard "Deano" who is planning a top secret operation to propose to his girlfriend Lily. As veteran Corey says, "even on the quietest day�s there�s never a dull moment".(Summary from Ten.com.au - Permission granted)
