Man goes over Niagara Falls and lives

Went to Niagara Falls 10 years ago on a school trip. Rode a simulator that takes you over the Falls in a barrel, which was pretty damned fun.

 

I'm sorry Junk but you have to explain that post.

You're being particularly enigmatic tonight.

 

Great, there goes one of my suicide plans.

 

The loss to Siena in the MAAC final probably pushed him over the edge

 

You have more than one?
Young man, go post on Doc Talk RIGHT NOW!

 

Oh, Doc already knows. I call him every morning to let him know I made it through the night.

 

Belatedly, that was classic, and probably could only have been pulled off by you.

 

When Roger and his sister returned to the Falls, she was reunited with the two men who had plucked her from the brink, both of whom were in their 80s. Quite an emotional moment, as I understand it.

 

It's a bright start to my day as I sip the morning coffee

 

So fucking solid.

 

OK, this is amazing.

Hafen owns a helicopter company that takes people on trips down the gorge and around the falls. He volunteers to help rescue the idiot.

"He didn't want to be rescued. That's what made it so difficult," Mr. Hafen said. "He was actually shouting at us to get away."

So, Mr. Hafen tried another approach. With winds at 35 knots and waves swirling, he used the force of his helicopter's rotor to create an artificial current, pushing the man towards shore. "They were able to push the male back towards the shore just with the wind [from] the propellers basically, floated him back to shore," Chief Kane said.
