Alligator Attack, Miracle Rescue | Phoenix News

A woman survives a terrifying alligator attack on the Silver River after losing her arm, thanks to the heroic intervention of boater John Gamache and his father—whose quick action saved her life. Gamache arrived just in time to scare off the alligator and control bleeding with a rope from his boat, while also rescuing other swimmers. The woman was hospitalized but discharged the next day, and her family expressed deep gratitude. Officials responded by removing a massive 9.8-foot alligator and temporarily closing the river, which reopened August 9th. Gamache, who’s never seen anything like it, is relieved she’s recovering—and proud to have helped. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
