A Boston Duck Tours boat made a dramatic rescue in the Charles River near the Museum of Science in Cambridge. The boat saved an adult and a child who were in the water near 40 Land Blvd. The incident occurred when a father jumped in after his young child fell from a walkway along the river. The nearby duck boat quickly spotted the pair and rushed to their aid. Emergency medical crews evaluated the father and child before both were taken to a Boston hospital for further evaluation. The incident was initially responded to by Cambridge Police, but Massachusetts State Police took over as it occurred in the river. Boston Duck Tours and State Police did not immediately comment on the rescue. The heartwarming rescue was captured in a photo and shared on social media, emphasizing the importance of quick action and teamwork in emergency situations. The father’s heroism and the quick response of the duck boat crew saved the day and highlighted the value of preparedness and awareness to prevent accidents and ensure safety on the water. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and safety measures when near bodies of water, reinforcing the need for caution and quick thinking in unexpected situations.
