slothrop Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 With the news of the guy surviving over the falls, I saw this. Fricking incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Most of the water in the Niagara River is diverted for hydroelectric power. If it weren't for that, that guy would have been washed out to Lake Ontario before anyone would even see him. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 That was an incredible rescue. For a guy who wanted to commit suicide over gambling debt, he turned out to be pretty lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you want to commit suicide by going over the falls (a dumb way to go IMO) you had better be pretty damn sure before you get your ass into the water!

I was wonderig if they put a call into for more water to be diverted (drop the water at the falls) ASAP? ?? I had a drowning one time 1600 feet from the top of our small dam and the first thing I did was notify the chain that I was closing down our sluice gates (to stop flow) in order to keep the body from moving and the divers in jeopardy.
