Good Samaritan and A New Jersey State Police Officer saves 8 lives

Talk about a super team that worked together to save eight persons who were aboard a 26 foot vessel that was about to sink into the Point Pleasant Canal on Sunday afternoon. The Good Samaritan whose name is not known was able to use his boat to get five passengers aboard his boat while the captain of the doomed vessel and two other passengers decided to take the vessel to a nearby dock. New Jersey State Police marine bureau officer Sergeant Michael Krauchuck used his boat to at first tie up the stricken vessel to his boat to take it to a nearby dock. But since the rough waters made it impossible for him to take the vessel to a dock, he was able to get the three passengers aboard his boat and take them to safety since the vessel would not have made it to a dock. Even though the vessel sank into the canal, all passengers are safe and sound thanks to the police officer and the Good Samaritan.
