Video showed Duryea, in an orange suit and with an axe in his left hand, buffeted by winds and spraying water as he was lowered toward the car through falling snow. After slowly spinning and swinging past the car, he was able to grab hold on the passenger side, open the door and disappear inside.

About two minutes later, with water surging around the vehicle and over the precipice about 50 yards (meters) downstream, Duryea emerged and signaled to the helicopter, which then hoisted him and the motionless driver from the water.

It was unclear how the car got into the Niagara River. Witnesses reported seeing it floating near a pedestrian bridge, where it was believed to have gone in. Roads in the area were slippery amid the light snow.

Authorities said the woman lived in the area. Her name was not released pending notification of her relatives.

Oh no. More toxic masculinity.

I grew up in a small town on the Atlantic. We thought Coasties walked on water. They’re just the best.

The victim looks like she’s wearing grippy socks, the kind often worn by folks with fall risk.
