boy getting caught in Whirlpool at WDW

[dawnedwards]

My husband heard on the radio today that a boy got caught in the jets of a whirlpool at WDW and that his father had to blow air into his mouth until they could get him loose.

Anyone have any more information about this ie, where it happened?

It wasn't at a WDW resort(It was at the Radison Resort Parkway). Here is a link about it:

I saw this story on GMA yesterday and on our local news yesterday. It happened a week or more ago. The boy (14) is fine. It actually happened at Radisson near Celebration (we stayed there last Sept. for one night). I recognized the spa pool with waterfall. As soon as I saw it I told my mom, "hey-that's where we stayed last year" It's not on property.

According to the news the dad gave his son mouth-to-mouth for 7 min. or longer. He was unconcious when he was taken out and was in a coma for 4 days. He's fine now and the news showed some of the Disney characters visiting him in the hospital.

For my info you can probably check it out on GMA website (www.abcnews.com).
