Rescuers scramble as a Westfall, Pa. Fire Department rescue boat sinks in the Delaware River during a search for 18-year-old Daniel Rak of New York on July 28, near the Ten Mile River Scout Camps in Narrowsburg, N.Y. All six emergency personnel were rescued. Divers recovered the body of Rak, who was trying to swim across the river in an area with strong currents when he went missing Wednesday.

The "Read the story here" link goes to a short article that makes absolutely no mention of what the headline to this photo is referring to, "Boat sinks during rescue attempt for teen in Delaware River". In fact, in all the news articles that I have read about this tragic drowning, none mention the fact that a fire department rescue boat sank during the rescue of the teen. I would really like to see some video of this, if any exists, because I have just GOT see how six experienced swift water rescue personnel managed to sink their rescue craft!
