CBSN
A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew braved poor visibility and frigid rapids to reach a car partly submerged in water near the brink of Niagara Falls, then lowered a rescue swimmer on a hoist who pulled out the woman trapped inside. She did not survive.
"We have never had a vehicle in the water this close" to the edge of the Falls, New York State Park Police Cpt. Christopher Rola told CBS affiliate WIVB-TV.
The station captured dramatic video of the Coast Guard's harrowing rescue attempt.
