A Bronx girl who was hiking with a church group in Whirlpool State Park in upstate slipped from a rock and fell into the Niagara River. Authorities are worried she may been swept away by the current into a whirlpool. A couple hiking behind the group saw the girl spoke to the media; the wife said, "We didn't see her fall in. I saw her when maybe she was about 10 feet in the water... I yelled to my husband to jump in and get her, but by the time I saw her again, she was about 20 feet out... At about 75 feet out she went under. It didn't look like she was trying to swim." The girl's friends told the Niagara Gazette she wasn't a good swimmer "at all."

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

this is very sad. i pray for her parents.
if a lawsuit comes out if this mainly for suing the parks dept... i'm not sure how i will react.
edEx, from personal experience, I know that the state has pretty good immunity when it comes to accidents related to injuries and accidents that occur near and in bodies of water. :(
If anyone will get sued, it will be the church that supervised/sponsored the trip.
From what I've read, when a body gets swept into that whirlpool there, it can be in there for DAYS before it finally surfaces. The currents in that whirlpool are incredibly strong...why were ten-year-old kids hiking in such a dangerous place?
(sorry, 12-year-old kids)
I used to hike often at the Niagara Gorge and yeah you'd want to stay out of the water especially upriver from the whirlpool. That part of the river has the most amazingly ferocious rapids and I can't imagine anyone surviving if they fell in.
And like Niagara Falls, the Canadian side is the better place to hike by far.
can God be sued?
How about that woman telling her husband to go in after her. "Fuck you bitch, YOU go in after her!"
Oh jeez, that sucks.
They say if you go over the falls, your chances are better than getting caught in that whirlpool. I've hiked that area and the steep grade can be tricky but the water is way trickier.
Yeah, definitely genius call on girlfriends part.
She's like, "Listen you know the basics, honey: go into massive currents convinced you can save the other person, run fast to get your heart rate up if you're bitten by a venomous snake, sleep with your food in the tent so a bear won't break into the car and get it, and you can always outrun a mountain lion. This shit's outdoors 101. You should know this."
