BasX Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 PHILADELPHIA—Just call him the hero of Hockey Night in Canada. Ron MacLean played a part in a bit of heroism today in Philadelphia during a water rescue. MacLean says he was having lunch on a patio by the Delaware River with Don Cherry when a panicky woman came up saying there was someone in the water. MacLean and a few others sprung into action — he grabbed a velvet rope, jumped a wrought-iron railing and ran down to the water. When he arrived he saw another man had already jumped into the river and pulled the man to a raft. MacLean says he and a couple of staff from the hotel used the velvet rope to pull the man onto the wharf, while the person who had jumped in to save him climbed out. MacLean says he heard the man had been trying to take his life, but seemed grateful after being rescued. http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/nhl/article/818815--sportscaster-ron-maclean-helps-rescue-man-from-delaware-river Ron is so awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) I was actually sitting on a train on the Ben Franklin Bridge going over the Delaware when I read about this. Creepy! Edited June 3, 2010 by Phightins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
