An international student from Japan is presumed dead after being swept over Niagara Falls on Sunday night, authorities say.

The woman, in her 20s, who was studying in Toronto, climbed on to a pillar overlooking the Canadian side of the falls and slipped over, police said.

She then fell into the Niagara River about 80ft (24m) up from the edge of the falls and was swept over.

Poor kid. That must be a terrifying way to die.

Why don't things like that happen to people like George W. Bush?
 
sheer madness to climb out there...i have been to the falls...everything is covered with a fine mist.....rocks are slick etc...
 
That's horrible. The poor thing. I wonder if it was because she couldn't read the warning signs? So few international tourists can speak/read the language of the countries they visit.

Of course, common sense IS the global language. I wish it had kicked in for her and prevented this tragedy.

Water is too comforting for Dubya's death. He needs to fall into a live volcano.

Go ahead and neg me too. I promise I wont cry.:cuckoo:
Idiots.
 
Falling from such a big height she would have died before falling to the water and thinking about her family I feel very sorry for them for not seeing their Childs face after her death.

No, she wouldn't have died as she fell, the poor thing.

Free falling doesn't kill you.

It's that sudden deceleration that ends the terror.
