A routine patrol turned into a life-saving rescue Sunday morning on the Chicago River.
A U.S. Coast Guard boat was on patrol in the area of Dusable Harbor, near Randolph Street downtown, when the saw a man jump into the water from a bridge, ChicagoBreakingNews.com reported.
The Coast Guard crew was quickly able to pull the man from the 41-degree water and take him to paramedics.
Video from the scene shows the man walking on his own into the ambulance.
A Coast Guard spokesman said the man is lucky -- a person can't survive for very long at all in water that temperature.
