Title: Fort Erie man on raft rescued
Post by: Foxy Brown on February 08, 2007, 02:14:45 AM
Law enforcement officials say paying a credit card bill may have been the reason a 40-year-old man from Fort Erie, Ont., hopped into his rubber raft in near-zero temperatures to get to the United States. But he ended up spending five hours on the Niagara River before he was rescued Monday morning near Grand Island. (http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20070206/1004863.asp)

Hehe. I grew up in Fort Erie. Still, pretty dumb given the weather.

I feel sorry for the guy - this will be the #1 Google hit when  prospective employers check him out for the rest of his life.
