9m 높이 폭포 위로 추락한 뗏목 순간 영상 한 무리의 뗏목을 모는 사람들이 방향을 바꾸라는 경고 신호도 무시한 채 9m 폭포 위로 추락한 순간을 잡은 충격적 영상이 포착됐다. 그들은 펜실베이니아 주 오시오필 주립공원에서 뗏목을 빌려 중유피오헤니 강으로 여행을 떠났다. 일행은 방향을 잘못 틀어서 위험한 항로에 놓였다. 그들은 돌아가라고 재촉하는 세 개의 경고문을 무시한 채 강을 지나갔다. 폭포 위로 뗏목이 곤두박질치는 순간, 나중에 페이스북에 올린 구경꾼 코디 베로니의 영상으로 포착되었다. 이 사고는 오후 4시 30분쯤 발생했으며, 긴급구조대원들은 10분 만에 강에서 구출해 육지의 안전한 곳으로 이송할 수 있었다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Chul Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |

Shocking video captured the moment that a group of rafters plunged over a 30ft waterfall after apparently ignoring warning signs to turn around.
The rafters at Ohiopyle State Park in Pennsylvania had rented a raft and took an unguided white water boating trip on the Middle Youghiogheny River.
The rafters plummeted 30 feet over the falls into raging rapids
While navigating the river, the group took a wrong turn that set them on a dangerous course. They passed three warning signs urging boaters to turn back, with one sign stating 'waterfall ahead'.
The moment the rafters plummeted over the falls was captured on video by bystander Cody Veronie, who posted the video to his Facebook.
The incident happened at around 4.30pm, and emergency crews were able to retrieve the group from the river and get them to safety on land in only 10 minutes.
'We wanted to get them before the next rapid, because it's not too far,' Park Operations Manager Kenneth Bisbee said.
This section of the river is typically an easy excursion that takes around five hours to complete.
But because of abnormally high water levels, the water was moving much faster and the group finished in around three hours.
The Youghiogheny River is usually 2ft deep, but on July 13 it was a startling 5ft.
Bisbee told Daily Mail.com: 'They were actually finished with their trip, but I think they kept going because the water was so high.'
Luckily, all six rafters escaped with minor injuries.
Bisbee told ABC News, 'All six of them had their life jackets on so when they went over the falls that was probably the thing that saved them and that's why they're with us today.'
