I’ve seen a video of the bodies floating in this river. I wouldn’t go near it, let alone jump in.

Indian officials are searching for Hector Rolotti, the Chief Executive of Novecento, after he jumped in the Ganges River to help save a person, but never came out.

Never pays to get too dancy near rivers.

Benny Lava!

I would have to think twice about eating in a restaurant run by someone who had been swimming in the Ganges.

Rolotti and a group of people were standing at the banks of the Ganges when a woman fell in and was swept away by the current. Six men, including Rolotti, jumped in to save her. She was eventually saved and all of the men but Rolotti made it back to land.

how in the world did she fall in?!!!

I’ve never had Ganges and don’t want it again.

Just as a sort of counterpoint, I’ve personally bathed in the Ganges and suffered no ill effects whatever.

Felt pretty good, actually.

I’ve been on a boat ride on that river. I didn’t see any bodies in it, but they were cremating dozens of bodies at dusk along the banks of the river. Then they throw the ashes into that river.

Forty-seven-year-old Hector Rolotti, the owner of Novecento Restaurants in Brickell, Aventura and Key Biscayne remains missing, Thursday. Rolotti and his wife were visiting a city north of New Delhi, India when he was pulled under by a strong current in a river, Monday.

Rolotti, his wife and several friends were on their annual trip to India for a yoga retreat when a member of their group was pulled into the Ganges River by a strong current, Monday. A spokesperson for the Novecento company said, that’s when several men, including Rolotti went into the river to try to help a woman who had been pulled in. They all made it out safely, except for Rolotti.

The incident happened 16 miles east of the city of Rishikesh, in the northern area of the Ganges River. So far, Rolotti has not been found. Crews continue to search in the river and river banks.

Rolotti’s wife is said to be on her way back home to break the news to the couple’s three kids.

Those who know Rolotti are devastated. “He is very personable with us. He’s always here greeting people,” said restaurant patron Ana Jaureguizar. “It’s terrible, the news we are hearing is just horrible.”

The company spokesperson also said it’s Rolotti’s spiritual strength, inner strength and great physical condition that is currently giving hope to his family and friends.

After 32 postings, many of them jokes, it appears that I'm the first to pray that Mr. Rolotti is found safe or to bless him for saving the woman he may have given his life for........

And I don't even claim to be a christian.......
