Woman, 66 dies after being stuck in freezing waters just yards from edge of NIAGARA FALLS for two hours after car crashes off road
A recovery, not rescue.
Salute to the rescue diver.

For all the jokes about going over Niagara Falls in a barrel — and the few idiots who’ve survived it — the falls are truly dangerous.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Coast Guard pulled the body of a 66-year-old woman from her car as it teetered near the edge of Niagara Falls on the United States side Wednesday afternoon

  • Videos posted to social media documented the horrifying moment after the woman was stuck in her car about 50 yards from the brink of the Falls for about two hours as snow fell

  • When rescue crews arrived on the scene at around 1pm, they did not see the woman moving

  • The car entered the river between a vehicle and pedestrian bridge to Goat Island in New York

  • It remains unclear whether the driver entered the water intentionally or accidentally

  • The car became stuck on rocks near the edge, and photos and videos posted to social media showed the black sedan almost completely submerged

  • Authorities remained on the scene as of Wednesday evening, as they attempted to retrieve the car
