Global News
In a video circulating on social media, two visitors can be seen over the Niagara Falls fence taking photos and videos of themselves, at the edge of the gorge.
In a viral video circulating on social media, two people can be seen on the illegal side of a safety fence for Niagara Falls, taking photos and videos.
The unsafe display has gained the attention of thousands of people after a passerby recorded the video and posted it to social media earlier this month.
“Look at those crazy people,” a man recording the sightseers says.
The two visitors seemed to have ignored the “Do not climb” signs posted all across the fences, placed there by the Niagara Parks Commission to protect visitors.
“Oh my God,” the man continues to say on the Oct. 7th video. People around him can also be heard gasping.
One of the daredevils can be seen sitting on the edge towards the falls with her phone extended out, posing for the camera. A man standing behind her can also be seen taking photos and videos.
Paul Forcier, chief of Niagara Parks police, said he is aware of the incident and said an investigation is ongoing.
“Climbing the retaining wall presents great risks to the individual(s) but also to responding emergency services personnel,” Forcier said.
