Rescue 911 - Episode 217 - "Niagara River Rescue" (Part 2)

[flexgirl615]

Thank god for lettin them have another day

[InFiNiTeSkiiLL]

Hold On,Hold! Yea, officer I was gonna fucking let go

[Froginthemouth406]

The only reason I can come up with as to why they jumped out of the boat would be that it might of run out of gas, the boat might of lost power somehow, maybe the engine died from lack of air(when it submerged after it passed the dam), the boat didn't have the strength to push against the currents? Or they just thought they could reath land faster if they swam it rather than ride it out in a boat. I don't have a clue, but great episode. Thanks for uploading it. 5 Star

[Snoep76239]

At least they had the smarts to wear life jackets. Saved their lives.

[ford9572]

@Goodie8486, Because they obviously don't think that's necessary or they think it's too expensive to put one up, Either way, I think they're COMPLETELY f**ked in the head!!!

[Goodie8486]

why don't they have some sort of "safety barrier" or fence or something to prevent everyday tourist and boaters from being able to enter these waters?

[mmmfloorpie]

@Goodie8486 Natural selection does that!

[kimloveslp]

wow that would be scary knowing your falling over a water fall

[OliviaFan29]

I'm glad their okay, but why in the world is boating even allowed that close to the falls? I mean if it's close enough that people can go bast the gates then clearly it's too close.

[animeflowergurl]

these are truly amazing people. they went beyond the call of duty

[mangoliouskiwi]

I can't even imagine trying to swim in those rapids. They're insane although on TV they don't seem as crazy as they do in real life.

[bellykelly53]

That blue light in the falls is pretty.

[rhymingrecordsss]

maybe u been on the maid of the mist boat close to, but deff not under the falls, splat!

[TheOnionBargie]

Ive Benn Under Them On Boat So Scary

[Puferu]

lol on one of some kinda rescue program the victim FELL OVER THE EDGE AND DIED then came the credits XD

[vickiormindyb]

I think dying by fire is the worst way to go, but that's b/c someone in my family was taken by flames. Not even accidentally either. He was murdered.

Any death by intentional violence is the worst way to go, b/c it's not part of God's original plan. He lets it happen-he doesn't condone it.

Sometimes I think it's too bad human beings were put in charge of "free choice."

Some of them f* it up in such a major way. : /

[JediDrallig2]

going over niagara falls is one of the worst ways to die in my opinion

[jem2envi]

"Your mother raised an idiot here". ROFL. Ana a HERO all in one. God Bless each and every one of you.

[angelgirl7473]

i WANT to see those falls someday!

[sanskimost911]

I live in the falls, Its pretty nice , clifton hill is awesome to haha

[OrganicTrichome]

they are ENORMOUS and mindblowing.....i recomend going there any chance you get!

[iraqidolphin]

They didn't bring their passports with them!?!

[xxxViiKatexxx]

this is why you don't go boating around a humongous water fall. although i thought that was common sense :-P

[lemko13]

When did this happen because I live in Niagara Falls.

[allgood2000]

1988

[lemko13]

Thanks

[TrendyCoolGirl10]

@lemko13 how do you live in niagra falls dont you meen you live near N falls cause if you live in N falls that meens you live in the water

[lemko13]

@TrendyCoolGirl10 Niagara Falls is a city with close to 90,000 people...

[OneSkiWonder]

It's a shame it wasn't daylight or at least that the falls were well lit because about 200 yards upstream from the falls there is a barge that got loose and the crew aboard lowered the bay doors and got them stuck in the bed of the river. If they had reached that they could have gotten out of their boat and waited there for a helicopter just like the original crew of the barge did.

[sife12345]

whats a gash? because it says she had a deep gash in her leeg from the boats prop

[allgood2000]

That means the she was cut by the boat's propeller when she just in the water.

[lizzykat2]

That was scary But I'm glad their okay

[itsalleternal]

Several people have survived falls down Niagara Falls but never on a boat.

[lizzykat2]

I know one of the women had a gash on her leg

that was scary don't you think

[allgood2000]

She got the gash because she hit her leg on the propeller when she jumped out of the boat. It wasn't because of the rapids.

[lizzykat2]

Gosh that hurt

[lizzykat2]

I agree with you

[HONEYCHOK]

wrong

[OneSkiWonder]

Are you calling me wrong? Or someone else?

[jatthandsome]

you fuckin punks ... datz not stupidity ... datz da limit of dareness ... they have da guts to go there ... ya ppl jus went dere to se falls dey went dere to conquer them .... nd da fire fighters ... they were just amazing ... they are da real heros ...HATS OFF TO THEM

[allgood2000]

They weren't trying to go near the falls, it got dark and they got lost.

[Unslovedaudio]

go to tvshowsondvd,com and vote on rescue 911 to come out on dvd, rescue 911 has 435 votes

[KeikoTeddy]

They should have warning lights on the gates to warn people at night.. to prevent this from happing again

[itsalleternal]

The current gets stronger as you move towards the falls, and it goes straight down. I was down there not long ago and people were swimming less than 3/4 mile from the falls...in the last 1/4 mile, the current moves about 15 mph (doesn`t sound like a lot, but you could be down the falls in less than 5 minutes)

[1nm1]

Why do they let people swim so close to the edge???

Also, to put it another way 15 mph is FASTER than the BEST marathon runners.

[rattleman123456]

Does anyone else notice the flash of light right as their boat is going over the edge of the Falls? Wonder what it was...camera flash?

[allgood2000]

Could have been someone in the crowd watching them film the re-enactment taking a picture.

[happy7117]

I just spotted that just now. It's at exactly 6:20.

[dagger86]

Man, this is awesome! I haven't seen this one yet. "I don't give a @#$%! if you're tired. SWIM!" LoL

[chase251]

I don't give a damn how tired or hurt you are!

That man is my hero. That is how you have to be some people

[IcePrincess73]

Wow!!!

[gdawg82]

Great Show. Bring it back.

[happy7117]

Makes me wonder if that story about "going over Niagra Falls in a barrel" is true??!!

[unforgiven911]

My grandparents live in Niagara Falls Ontario spent many days there... I don't remember this rescue but there have been a few... Thanks for the upload :)

[allgood2000]

This is quite possibly my favorite segment of the entire series.

[KinakoIshiyama]

Mine's probably the one with the policeman who pushed that car out of the way of an oncoming train.

[AutisticPsycho]

Heh, why's that?

On top of that, I was about 1 when this segement aired, just turned 18 on the 30th of Augst and went to Niagara Falls on the 6th of August, looking at this clip shows how much Niagara Falls bulit up in 17 years, today, the Minolta Tower was all alone now, it's surrounded by other buildings.

[allgood2000]

I guess because it's an intense segment, and it's pretty unique.
