Papergirl in deep water

The reason that he is such a real A'hole is that there are numerous old, low head hydro dams and old bridge peds that set up nasty hydraulics . People have been known to go over a dam at 14th st and get sucked into the spillway hydraulic. There , a boat can be sucked under and kept rolling just under the water while the people in it drown like maggots in a bucket. To endanger your child and yourself for some stupid publicity trick is unconsionable. The guy oughta be severely reprimanded and reminded of his responsibility as a parent to first and formost
"Dont harm your kids"

Hes a stupid dipshit, and his daughter learned that sometimes parents can be jerks , even if they act like they know what theyre doing.
I saw one where a guy took his 13 year old son fishing at the base of the Muddy Run Pump storage dam on the lower Susquehanna. This is a treacherous place where only well trained kayakers and heavy boats go. Its loaded with deep trench hydraulics. The kid was swept away after the boat tipped. The kid wasnt found for months and the father was not even reprimanded. (It was in the 80s and , since then, the Boat Commision has tried to clap down on JO boaters).
Boats, bass, and beer, thats the Susquehanna trinity, guarenteed to terminate lives.

Being a memeber of the Pennsylvania Navy is a derisive term in the boating world

thanks farmerman...
now i understand what all the fuss was about

and thx for the story too

some people huh...

Without farmerman's explanation I would not have understood the story.

I agree with fm ... apart from the idiocy of placin' his kid and himself in danger, he could bave endangered the lives, and certainly needlessly wasted the time and resources, of any emegency responders who'd have done their damndest to save his sorry butt if it came to that.

I also agree with Farmerman. What an idiot!
