Boat Stuck At Niagara Falls For More Than 100 Years Comes Loose | NBC Nightly News
Heavy rains and wind managed to move a massive boat that has been stuck on a rocky perch near Niagara Falls for more than a century. It’s now just over 2,000 feet from the edge of the horseshoe falls.» Subscribe to NBC News: nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

@@flashfive12 The thinking / hope (?) is that its only another very intense storm that moves it and therefore there is no way they would have boats running at that time. But thats some mighty powerful water running where it is and when it goes, its only matter of minute (seconds) before it goes over the falls? I would want to watch it over the falls, but count me out for being in a tourist boat when it happens. They have thought this through though..
