Listen to the Tour Guide tell the miraculous story of the rescue of then 7-year-old Roger Woodward who fell over the falls in 1960. You can read more about the story here: "ROGER WOODWARD - NIAGARA FALLS MIRACLE" http://www.infoniagara.com/history/rogerwoodward_miracle.aspx

Niagara Falls is the world's greatest waterfall by volume at 2832 m3. It is split in two by Goat Island. According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, "The American Falls are 59 m high (21-34 m to rock debris at the base of the falls) and 260 m wide and carry about 10% of the flow. The Canadian, or Horseshoe, Falls are 54 m high and 670 m wide, with the remaining 90% of the flow. However, only the Canadian Falls fall freely to the Maid-of-the-Mist pool, where they have excavated a pool as deep or deeper than they are tall."
