Copied from the article:

"One source said a few of the cops swam the 300 years to shore, navigating heavy currents in the 40-foot waters. Some of the other officers and two civilian trainers aboard scrambled to safety in rafts, while the rest were fished out by the FDNY Marine Unit, law-enforcement sources and witnesses said."

300 years to shore...that sounds like some swim!!!!!

I'm glad to hear that everyone is going to be alright. Easy to replace a boat compared to human lives.
