Yesterday afternoon, a man jumped into the frigid Niagara River, was swept down the Horseshoe Falls—all 180 feet—and survived. The Buffalo News reports, "Naked and despondent, with a gash on his head, the man was caught in a slow-moving circle of frigid water below the falls when rescuers made it down a steep embankment shortly after 2 p. m. to a point where Firefighter Todd Brunning could enter the water."
