Onlookers watch and record as 2 men drown in Niagara Falls river

Police warn of dangerous waters after two drown in Niagara River at Broderick Park

You gotta be one hoe ass nikka to sit and record people drowning instead of calling for help
And you also gotta be a dumbass to jump into Niagara Falls to salvage a piece of fukking drift wood if you can’t swim

At the end of the day this is further proof that social media and cell phones have ruined society

If they called for help, would help respond quick enough? That was crazy

 

[Knowledge]

What else was they supposed to do? Once you in the falls it's a wrap

I would rather take that chance of help not arriving in time than watch and record. The time spent recording and watching could’ve been spent calling 911 and also finding something for the 2 men to grab.

Uh call 911? Search for something long enough for them to grab? Hell there’s a ladder that makes the river accessible, they could’ve tried to break the shyt off instead of recording them drowning for some views on social media

I mean someone went to find a stick to help them but it was too late by then.

What the fukk are they doing???

 

[The Mad Titan]

So they couldn't swim or did they get pulled under from under tow?

And why would someone else that can't swim jump in?

Worst part about it is the guy who died helping

When people are drowning they’re in full on panic mode and will tent to drag the person helping them

fukked up situation all around

Why didn't he just stay where he was at? Looked safe enough standing there



RIP to them, especially to the dude that tried to help

I don’t fault anyone for not risking their lives over people risking their lives doing something they aren’t supposed to be doing.

It’ll be a bunch of untrained rescuers drowning instead of just 2 people

He jumped in there for some damn wood?

From the article:

An eyewitness told The Buffalo News that the two men were attempting to collect a piece of driftwood lodged in an eddy near a point where people can easily enter the water.

“From the second he jumped in, it was obvious he was a really bad swimmer. He was smacking the water quickly and he was fatigued very fast. He swam only about 4 or 5 feet and came back to the rock so he could catch his breath.

"Everybody was saying, ‘Don’t go back in.' 'Take a breather.' 'Relax.' 'Take a piece of driftwood with you.’ The (man on shore) said, ‘Just let me go in.’ And (the other man) said, ‘I’m already wet. I’ll just try one more time.’

"He swam out, he still had the rope around his wrist. He was about 5 feet from the driftwood. The guy holding on to the rope just let it go, assuming he could go out and bring it back.”

“The current wasn’t that strong where they were. The guy (on shore) kept saying, ‘What’s the problem? The current isn’t that strong.’

“People kept telling the guy (on shore) that he needed to go in to save the guy who was going after the driftwood. He had one boot on, so he took off the boot and set his hat and his cellphone down and the second he got to (the man already in the water), the guy pushed him down.

Everybody watching thought it was gone be all good until shyt went left. If breh woulda just grabbed the wood and used it like a kickboard he would been straight

The camera man was right when he said "I ain't jumping in that shyt"
