Now, for my favorite newspaper headline from 2008:
One swimmer drowned and another is missing and presumed dead following a Saturday evening swim off Wildwood beach. Coast Guard personnel, using a vessel and a helicopter, searched for the missing swimmer in Wildwood until 7:29 a.m. Sunday, when the effort was halted, Coast Guard Petty Officer Chris McLaughlin said."It's beyond the chance of survivability for someone to be out there without a life vest," McLaughlin said.Juan Moore, 28, was among three friends from Philadelphia who swam toward a buoy about 100 yards off the beach around 7 p.m.Officials said two of the swimmers made it back to shore. While one of the men made it back safely, the second swimmer, 36-year-old Ismael Lopez, was unconscious and pronounced dead after failed resuscitation efforts. The third swimmer, Moore, is believed to have been swept out to sea.
