Was the person who went over the side of Niagara Falls in a barrel or a boat?

That’s funny!!!

But as someone who has been there - I get creeped out at the very idea of falling into that horror.

Just take a couple of people a few miles downstream and he will show up.

Of course, the will spend millions trying to ‘find him/her’.

I sort of liken it to if someone jumps over 3 fences into the Lions Den there is no sense in wasting time and manpower trying to rescue him.

Like one of the shortests Obits on record.

James Smith, 21, stood on the tracks challenging a freight train.
The train won.
Viewing(??) tomorrow, funeral 3 days.

There are just some things that there is really no sense in getting all bent out of shape over.

“State park police officers told the television station that the woman reportedly went over the falls at Prospect Point on the American side in what they called an “intentional entry.”

Yeah, I was there a few years ago. Can’t imaging anyone surviving that, but some have.

Are they looking down stream?

Someone needs to give them a hint.

This is what passes for “journalism.” No what, when, where or why, nothing. An old TV show character used to say: “Just the facts ma’am, just the facts.” Now we get nothing from a crop of inane neophytes who call themselves “reporters of the news.” aka “journalists.” What tommyrot.

“New York State Park Police say a woman in her 40s went over the falls at Prospect Point.

Park Police spokesman Randy Simons says it appeared the woman intentionally entered the water to “harm herself.”

[BenLurkin]

That’ll do it.

[nuconvert]

yup. Sad.
