The view from the bottom hatch of a A CH-47 Chinook assigned to the New York Army National Guard’s Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 126th Aviation shows a member of the New York State Park Police High Water Rescue Team clipping a lifting cable onto a a 3,900-pound steel pontoon in the Niagara River just above the American side of Niagara Falls in Niagara Falls, New York on May 4, 2022. The pontoon, which washed away from an ice dam in 2019, was lifted by the CH-47 and moved to Goat Island. It was removed because of concerns that it could go over the falls and damage the “Cave of the Winds”. ( U.S. Army National Guard photo by Lt. Col. Roberta Comerford )
