Here is one that WON'T make the statistics!

A jetskiier lost control, or lost power, on the Merrimack River in Lowell Thursday evening. A member of the Lowell Motor Boat Club saw the person in the water, hanging onto his jetski, as he headed toward the falls. (The current at the falls is still running very fast!)

The LMBC member called to the jetskiier to let go of his jetski and hang onto the safety ropes (installed by a member of the Lowell Motor Boat Club) so that he would not be swept over the falls.

The LMBC member was able to get onto the water, rescue the jetskiier and bring him ashore, the jetski went over the falls.

A number of Lowell police and fire emergency personnel had arrived on scene, the fire dept attempted to launch an inflatable boat with a small engine but the rescue had already occurred.

Here's why there will be NO OFFICIAL RECORD!

Not a single Police officier or firefighter thought to get the victim's name!

Unbelieveable!!!!

Friday morning the LPD called to the LMBC to see if the person who rescued the victim knew his name, he did not. Why did the LPD call? Because they found a jetski in the waters of the Merrimack River in Lawrence on Friday, but because they didn't know who the Lowell victim was, they had no way of knowing if the Lawrence Jetski was another incident or not!

According to a source in the media. LPD denies the event even happened!

So, I'll add one more to the boating accident/fatalities list that I am keeping, but it will apparently be denied because no Lowell police officer asked the victim for his name!

That is NEGLIGENCE!
