The fall shattered his right arm, broke every rib that he had, punctured his lung, and he drifted in and out of consciousness as he drifted down the East River, under the Brooklyn Bridge and out into the pathway of the Staten Island Ferry, where passengers on the ferry heard his cries of pain, contacted the boat's captain who contacted the Coast Guard who fished him out of the East River
La chute brisa son bras droit, ainsi que toutes les côtes qu'il avait, perfora son poumon, et il sombra dans les profondeurs de l'inconscience dérivant le long de l'East River, sous les pont de Brooklyn et croisant le chemin du ferry de Staten Island, où les passagers du ferry entendirent ses cris de douleur, appelèrent le capitaine du bateau qui alerta les gardes côtes qui le repêchèrent dans les eaux de l'East River
