a police officer showed up at the gate, and he said, hey, does anybody have some rope or anything? we kind of got down and said, well, yeah, we re a trapeze school. what do you need? a man has just fallen into the hudson river, which sits next to the trapeze school. without blinking, jonah and co-instructor paul cannon grab rope and other rescue equipment and take off toward the river. when we get there, we saw a body floating down the river about 25 or 30 feet out. somehow a man, later identified as james q., has fallen into the river and now appears unconscious and needs saving. a small crowd is building, but nobody seems to be doing anything. with no time to waste, paul jumps in. jonah ties a rope to the edge of the rail and jumps off the eight-foot ledge after him. i was scared of jumping in the water. i didn t know what was under there, i didn t know if i was going to impale myself on
