Not all stories over a fourth of July weekend will be happy ones. Jersey City resident, Venatesh Sankar, drowned trying to save another swimmer on Friday at the Delaware River Gap National Recreation Area.
At the base of a waterfall in Adams Creek a swimmer began to struggle and Sankar rushed in to help and sadly lost his life trying to save him. People like Venatesh Sankar are a huge part of the American fabric we celebrate this weekend. His selfless act towards others and putting them first even at grave danger to himself show what kind of a man Sankar was.
We as a society are lessened tonight with his loss.
Time for Jersey City, After Dark
