Hero’s Rope Saved Her Life | Washington DC News

A woman survives a terrifying alligator attack on the Silver River after losing her right arm, thanks to the heroic intervention of boater John Gamache, who used his rope as a tourniquet to stop bleeding and saved her life. Now home and recovering in good spirits, she credits Gamache with her survival — while authorities removed the 9-foot-8-inch alligator and reopened the river, this harrowing event serves as a sobering reminder that nature’s beauty comes with risks.
