Hd5. Hd5. Hd5. Hd5. A Good Samaritan who tried helping two stranded swimmers was swept away by a strong current. All three ended up near a sand bar near plum island between new york and massachusetts. Eventually a coast guard crew managed to rescue them. The swimmers swallowed a lot of saltwater but are expected to be okay. Turning now to the growing concern among Health Care Workers about the rising rates of coronavirus infection.

Will be remembered in a Public Service attended by celebrities and dignitaries. The procession began at about 9 30 this morning. The motorcade included 17 cars. Among them, a hearse carrying alis body. It is passing byn c areas significant to alis life, including his boyhood home.

Theyre showing to to make sure they show their respect, their gratitude for what this man meant to his hometown. Thousands along that route which will wind through his neighborh
