BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Did you know it's been fifty years since a young boy survived a death-defying plunge over Niagara Falls.

It was July 9th, 1960 when seven-year-old Roger Woodward made headlines after surviving a boat accident that sent him over the American Falls.

Woodward, who now lives in Huntsville, Alabama, is among only a handful of people who have survived a plunge over the falls.
