A 22-year-old man is missing after disappearing while swimming at Rockaway Beach in Queens on July 25, as thunderstorm warnings were issued. The NYPD is actively searching for him using multiple units, while the investigation remains ongoing. Initial reports indicated that the swimmer, an immigrant from Niger, was missing shortly after he was last seen in the water. Lifeguards and emergency personnel were deployed, and locals expressed concern about the beach's deceptive currents. This summer, NYC Parks reported 126 beach rescues made by lifeguards.
...all the locals know that's a treacherous spot. At the top, it looks calm, but under, it's moving.
I was literally setting up my handouts when I saw the firetrucks charging down the boardwalk.
It literally feels like time is set on fire, and you're burning it all up, because this kid has no oxygen.
Lifeguards raced into the ocean to locate the missing man the day he went missing.
