Diver sucked into pipe

Divers are used to currents in the ocean. There is a chance to be swept upward in an updwelling or to be swished off of your intended dive site if you aren't properly informed, but we don't worry about such movements in lakes.....or do we?

Forty-year-old Joan Eddy along with her husband and two others were enjoying their dive in Lake Michigan yesterday, when suddenly Joan disappeared.

Sucked through an 8-foot intake pipe for the Consumers Energy J.H. Campbell power plant, Joan went sprawling nearly a half-mile through the pipe before emerging seven minutes later with a bloody nose. She exited in an open-air canal inside plant property.
