BELLE, W.Va. -- Emergency crews were looking for the body of a possible drowning victim who went under the water late Thursday afternoon near Belle, although police couldn't say for sure if anyone went in the river.
A fisherman said he saw someone trying to swim across the Kanawha River west of the locks in Belle with a beach ball around 3 p.m., but he lost sight of the swimmer, according to Kanawha County Metro 911.
Emergency divers from Belle and Charleston were involved in the search.
Rescue efforts were discontinued for this man after finding nothing because hey they do not even know if this person got out.(This is right behind my place of employment)
But I ask myself, why the #$%@%^!! would a person take a beachball and swim in the Kanawha river that is polluted from the coal and chemical industries that exist here and swim where barges push coal through about every half our or so near a dam?????????????????????????????????????????????? When we have several public swimming ponds, pools etc.. that cost very little to swim in.
Well my other idiot for the week........................
