Sad News from Kinzua

My dad had to run rescue boat last week under the Kasey Bridge. A kid jumped off the bridge and got hurt. He was drowning so the older brother jumped to help him and drowned trying to save the younger brother. Link to Story

Very sad. They jumped off the top. I guess they had done it in the past. They were from the Pittsburgh area and made an annual fishing trip up each year. I think the worse part was some of their friends were down below videoing from the shore.

My dad worked 12 hours that day, mostly running support boat for divers. He said it was rough watching the kids being pulled up together, they think because the uninjured one wouldn't let go of his injured brother.

Say a prayer for this family, very tough situation.
