A teenage boy is believed to have drowned after jumping into a River to celebrate the world not coming to an end after the supposed day of Rapture failed to arrive.

傳說中的世界末日過去一切卻依舊安然無恙,某男孩爲了慶祝跳入河中, 結果不慎溺水身亡。

Anthony Thompson from Kalamazoo, Michigan, leapt into the fast-flowing Kalamazoo River with a group of high-spirited friends yesterday evening to mark the passing of the so-called Armageddon, a highly publicized prediction.

昨晚,來自密歇根卡拉馬祖的安東尼湯普森和一羣興致高昂的夥伴跳入了水流湍急的卡拉馬祖河,以慶祝一個廣泛傳播的世界末日預言並未實現。

But the celebrations soon turned to heartbreak as the 17-year-old, who could not swim, screamed for help as the strong current swept him away.

但是慶祝變成了悲劇,因爲17歲的安東尼並不會游泳,儘管大喊救命,漩渦還是將其捲走。

Jordan, 15, said he tried to grab hold of his friend, but the current separated them as Anthony was pulled downstream. Jordan yelled as he tried to swim to his friend. But the friends were unable to reach Anthony.

15歲的喬丹稱他嘗試抓住他,但是水流太過湍急,安東尼被捲到下游。喬丹大聲呼救並試圖遊向安東尼,但是沒人能夠到他。

Emergency rescue workers rushed to the scene and searched from the site he jumped in to a mile west. Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller said the search ended around 9pm when it became too dark. Sheriff Fuller said: "We're looking for any possibility that he's alive."

緊急救援人員衝向現場,在安東尼跳水地點向西一英里展開搜尋。卡拉馬祖司法長官理查德福勒稱因天色太暗,搜索行動於晚上9點結束。他說:“我們已經排除了任何一個生還的可能。”
