    You get roker version. remember this story about 10 years ago.

    okay here goes.

    There is a bad forest fire in calfornia and its not too far from ocean. a few firefighters are killed and a few weeks later they find a charred body where fire was. whats unusual is there is a oxygen tank on his back and when they get to the autoposy. they find out he wasnt a firefighter but a scuba diver. when they complete autopsy they find out he died of BLUNT FORCE trama and figure out he died from a large fall. doesnt take them long to figure out poor guy must have been scuba swimming a helicopter dumping water on the fire SCOOPED him up and carried him over there ALIVE and dropped him on the fire.

    bull or not bull?

    I am sort of interested in being a wild fire firefighter so i searched a very reputable site that i belong to and this is what one of the members said

    Picking up the scuba diver story.
    Out of curiosity and boredom one day I tried to trace the story to it's
    source. I found a reference to a 'supposedly' true event about a swimmer
    being picked up by a helicopter bucket off the coast of Portugal. This
    story was reportedly in a Lisbon newspaper in 1972. Variations of this
    story have appeared as taking place off the coast of Southern Cal, Mexico,
    France, Greece, Finland and Lake Baikal in Russia. Portugal appears to be
    the earliest date, so I'll call the Portugal version as the original. I
    have been unable to locate a newspaper morgue containing the story to
    verify, and I can't read Portugese anyway. So I guess my trail ends there.
    Anybody else want to run with it?
