Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Upside with Jordan a dose of good news,
because it's a big world out there. If you live
in Boston or have visited our fair city, then you're
likely familiar with the duck boats providing exciting tours of
the city in and out of the Charles River. Well, recently,
something scary happened. A little child under two apparently squeezed
through the railing, fell from the duck boat into the river,
(00:20):
and the child's daddy jumped in to save him. Luckily,
another duck boat, Olga Ironsides, was nearby on a training
run with just a couple of crew members on board,
Mike Rozario and Kevin O'Neil. A spot of the dad
holding onto his son, Rosario got his boat into a
safe spot while his partner O'Neil went to the back
of the boat and lowered the ladder. He walked on
a few steps and was able to take the baby
(00:40):
from his dad's arm and bring him aboard. Cindy Brown,
Boston Duck Tour's CEO, summed it up best this way,
we have outstanding team members at Boston Duck Tours, and
I'm thankful that the training they received along with very
lucky timing, put them in a position to help save
this father and child. And that's the upside with Jordan
