Light the jetties

The recent tragedy involving Miami Marlins pitcher José Fernandez and his two friends made all of us sad. My heart goes out to their families.

I have an idea that might prevent such tragedies in the future. They should install solar-powered lights to mark the end of both jetties. That would make the area much safer at little cost. I wish it had been done sooner so this tragedy could’ve been prevented.
