Ketchikan, Alaska
Creek St Rescue

working with a chain saw

working with a chain saw

down goes the platform

oops, it's floating down the river

Jessica goes after it

spectators watch with amusement

Jamie jumps in - see his head at the left platform corner
now it gets ugly, Jamie can't hold on

He can't reach shore.
He goes completely under.  I stop taking pictures and get someone to call 911.
Taking interesting pictures one moment and watching someone near drowning the next - 
it seems surreal

Jessica risks her life and comes to the rescue

on shore but freezing cold

they help him up while the fire department crew watches from above and waits (?)

Jamie, in a green jacket, crawls and climbs to safety

No big deal

back to retrieving the platform
