Miracle at Niagara:
The only person to unintentionally go over the Falls and survive was young Roger Woodward. After a boating accident on July 9, 1960, the 7-year-old was swept over the Falls wearing only a life jacket and a swimsuit. The crew of the Maid of the Mist II rescued Roger, pulling him unharmed from the churning water. Roger's 17-year-old sister Deanne was pulled from the river above the falls by two onlookers and the driver of their boat, Jim Honeycutt, lost his life in the tragic event. |
