Buyoya Biswalo Apotea Baada ya Ajali ya Maji Georgia

Wadau, natoa pole kwa familia ya Biswalo. Buyoya amepotea na kuhofia kufa maji baada ya ajali ya boti siku ya jumanne  (Agosti 6) wiki hii.  Wazamaji wanatafuta mwili wake mtoni.  Alienda rafting na marafiki zake kwenye Mto Chattahoochee huko Georgia ndipo alipopata ajali. Nimesoma ripoti kuwa alikuwa anajaribu kwena boti nyingine  kwa kuogelea akapata shida majini, wenzake wakamtupia life vest lakini alizama majini. Ilichukua wenzake saa nzima kabla hajaripoti kupotea kwake. Hiyo nashaangaa maana mara nyingi ukiita waokoaji wanaweza kukupata na kukufua kwa CPR na mshine zao. Kuna maswali mengi. Tuombe miujiza apatekane salama.

Rescue teams search for missing 'Hooch boater

ROSWELL, Ga. – A 32-year-old man is missing on the Chattahoochee River after he fell in Aug. 6 while rafting with friends.

Paul Buyoya Biswaldo, of an unknown address, was reported with a large group of friends rafting down the river from Azalea Park. Lt. James McGee of the Roswell Police Department said alcohol was involved.

"He was in the process of going from one raft to another raft when he lost his footing and fell in," McGee said.

His friends threw a life preserver to him but he never resurfaced. They returned to the boat dock to report him missing, about an hour after his disappeared.

Police, fire and rescue teams arrived to begin the search, about 5:15 p.m. and they searched until nightfall. Wednesday morning they picked up the search, however rain and fog limited their efforts.

McGee said the efforts were still considered "rescue" and not "recovery."

Rescue teams returned to the Chattahoochee River in Roswell Wednesday to search for a man last seen swimming Tuesday afternoon.
The man, whose name was released, was last seen around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, swimming from a boat in the area of Don White Park on Riverside Road, Roswell police said.
Investigators believe the man was attempting to go from one boat to another, but instead ended up in the water. Boaters attempted unsuccessfully to throw a life vest to the man, according to police.
Crews searched until dark Tuesday, and the Forsyth County dive team, along with state Department of Natural Resources, National Park Service and Roswell fire personnel resumed looking for the man Wednesday morning.
“The last known location where he was seen struggling was under the river bridge,” Roswell Deputy Fire Marshal Paul Piccirilli said Wednesday.
“We will begin where he was last seen, then, based on the water current and water levels, they will determine which direction to go from there,” Piccirilli told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “We will stay out here until we find him or other information becomes available that we don’t need to do that any longer.”
