I can't get the video at the moment but if this is what I think it is,
this guy was incredibly lucky! Of course it was big news here in
Austin. The boater's engine died and his boat got lodged in the
floodgate. Then a rope from above the dam rescued his girl friend, wife
or whatever but HE WAS LEFT ON while his boat went though. A quarter
mile later he surfaced naked with only a few bruises and scratches.
Simply amazing he lived. He says that he will be buying another boat
and getting back on the water, but I bet he will have a auxiliary
engine or at least stay a little further from the dam next time.
