Crazy Man Takes on Niagara Falls
Giant chunks of ice floating around a maniac
Yesterday a man jumped over a retaining wall and into the river approaching Niagara Falls. He somehow managed to survive the 55 meter drop over the Horseshoe Falls--however, the impact ripped all the clothes from his body. He then swam around naked in the ice-cold, swirling waters below the falls for over 30 minutes, resisting rescue attempts the entire time! It gets more amazing. A local hero in a helicopter (Hooman? Matt Czernecki?) came over and used the force from the rotors blades to create a current that blew the man toward the shore where he was scooped up by the fire department.
I'm going to go ahead and assume this guy's an American.
