2 Men Drowned in New York
Happened on Monday (25th June 2018).  From an article: BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - - The Buffalo Police Department Underwater Rescue and Recovery Team pulled two bodies from the Niagara River at the Foot of Ferry Monday afternoon. Crews pulled 29-year-old Mario Guthrie and 46-year-old Scott Vater, both of Buffalo, from the river. In a news conference, police said the two men entered the water near a circular current of water. Buffalo Police Dept. Captain Jeff Rinaldo said one of the men was trying to recover some driftwood and began to struggle, and the other man tried to help. An eyewitness told News 4, the one man told her he collected driftwood to make furniture. He was getting read to jump in to retrieve a piece floating in the river when another man offered to jump in for him. "He jumped in and it was clear he wasn't a strong swimmer," said witness, Christina Williams. Williams says the man in the water had a rope tied to his wrist while the other man held the other end at shore. At one point the short rope wasn't enough so the man released it so he could grab the driftwood. The other man, at shore, jumped in to save him, but witnesses say they struggled to stay above water. "It was only a couple of seconds before they both just sunk like rocks. There was nothing we could've done, I mean my mom was screaming at me not to jump in, I almost went in, I mean they would've sunk me like a stone," said Williams. |

Looks like he wanted the driftwood so he swam out to get it.

Re: 2 Men Drowned in New York
These guys made drowning look easy. "circular current of water" must've been an underwater current that pulled them down. scary.

Re: 2 Men Drowned in New York
Who jumps in deep water when you don't know how to swim! Like jumping out of plane when you don't know how to fly...  |
