John Dwyer, 30, of Newport, R.I., would have been swept over the Horseshoe Falls in less than a minute had he lost his grip, New York State Park Police said Friday, a day after the rescue. “He was hanging on. I don’t know how long he was there,” Chief Vincent Iacovitti said. “He indicated to the officers he was there a long time.” Dwyer was treated for shock and exposure at Niagara Falls Medical Center and later charged with reckless endangerment for risking the lives of the officers who rescued him, as well as disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration, police said. He was arraigned Friday in Niagara City Court and was being held on $1,000 bail. He was unavailable for comment at the city jail. About 3 p.m. Thursday, Dwyer and a friend decided to wade into the Niagara River off the northwest shore of a grouping of islands that attracts thousands of tourists daily, even though wading is prohibited. “You can really get a perspective on the power of the rapids there,” Iacovitti said. Dwyer apparently lost his footing and was swept through a small, swift channel between two islands and shot out into the rapids, where he found a rock below the surface of the water and held on. With a growing audience of tourists, a three-man rescue team made its way across a tree that had fallen from Three Sisters Island onto Little Brother Island to get close enough to throw a line to Dwyer. “Our officers had to go into the water to get closer. They tied themselves on to do that,” the chief said. “If he would have broken loose from that location, there wouldn’t have been a whole heck of a lot we would have been able to do,” he added. Once rescuers had Dwyer secured in a basket, “the trick was to get him back over to Three Sister Island across the fallen tree trunks,” Iacovitti said. Rescuers accomplished that by sliding the basket along the tree, which was about a foot in diameter. There are no fences keeping tourists from the water, but the obvious power of the rapids is enough to keep most from venturing in. Even so, said Iacovitti, “there’s always individuals out there who like to experiment and explore.” [img] |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 5,2008 11:02pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] "The Falls at Niagara, comprising the American, the Bridal Veil and the enormous Horseshoe falls, exert upon a proportion of the human population, perhaps as many as forty percent (of adults), an uncanny effect called the hydracropsychic. This morbid condition has been known to render even the will of the active, robust man in the prime of life temporarily invalid, as if under the spell of a malevolent hypnotist. Such a one, drawn to the turbulent rapids above The Falls, may stand for long minutes staring as if paralyzed. Speak to him in the most forcible tone, he will not hear you. Touch him, or attempt to restrain him, he may throw off your hand angrily. The eyes of the enthralled victim are fixed and dilated. There may be a mysterious biological attraction to the thunderous force of nature represented by the The Falls, romantically misinterpreted as “magnificent”—“grand”—“Godly”—and so the unfortunate victim throws himself to his doom if he is not prevented. We may speculate: Under the spell of The Falls the hapless individual both ceases to exist and yet wills to become immortal. A new birth, not unlike the Christian promise of the Resurrection of the Body, may be the cruellest hope. Silently the victim vows to The Falls “Yes, you have killed thousands of men and women but you can’t kill me. Because I am me.” Dr. Moses Blaine, A Niagara Falls Physician’s Log 1879‒1905. :NEWHORNS: |
