He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himUn wreck blocked for over a century among the rocks a few meters from the Niagara Falls it has moved dangerously towards the abyss, risking falling into the void.
The large boat broke away from a tugboat in 1918, heading for the falls on the Canadian side.
The two men on board, Gustav Lofberg and James Harris managed to partially sink the ship, preventing it from falling from the waterfall.
Lofberg and Harris were rescued, but it turned out unable to retrieve the boat, which has stood still for 101 years since then.
A few days ago, however, due to a wave of bad weather which brought heavy rains and winds, the ship freed itself from the rocks in which it had been stuck for a century and moved, approaching just 600 meters from the falls.

Fortunately, a few steps from the precipice, the boat stopped again.
