[Scan-DC] Poss Drowning Ocean City

[Ed Tobias]

Watched the whole thing from my balcony at 132 St.

Began around 1630..when I heard 3 blasts from a guard's whistle (an alert 
signal) and saw them running up the beach.

NOT FOR USE ON-AIR, because it comes from scanner traffic....an 18 year old 
non-swimmer was pulled out by a rip current at 137 1/2 Street.  The victim 
was recovered about 35-40 minutes later near 139 St.  Taken by land, CPR in 
progress, to Atlantic General.

At one time there were half a dozen, or so, guards in the water along with 
some specialized rescue swimmers.  Trooper 4 assisted in the search along 
with 1 or 2 USCG vessels.  The OC fireboat was dispatched but I don't know 
if it ever made it to the scene.  (The advertising sign boat, which happened 
to be there, also assisted with the search).
