Dramatic footage from an early December 2021 incident, shows the moments United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers recover a woman's body from the rapid, freezing waters that of the Niagara River.
In the footage, Petty Officer 2nd Class Derrian Duryea is observed being lowered approximately 80 feet from a HH-65 Dolphin into the rapid waters, only 50 yards upstream from the Niagara falls. Reports have indicated that on the morning of December 8th, a woman in her late 60's, deliberately drove her vehicle off a bridge into the river.
Despite the heroic actions of Petty Officer 2nd Class Duryea and the helicopter's pilot, Lt. Chris Monacelli, the woman perished and was pronounced deceased at the scene. At the time of this writing, the incident is still being investigated to potentially discover a motive.
