VIDEO: Cape Girardeau crews rescue man, woman canoeing down Mississippi River
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) – Crews rushed to the Mississippi River in Cape Girardeau for a rescue on Friday morning, August 23.
Cape Girardeau firefighters were called shortly after 10 a.m. to the riverfront for a man and his adult daughter in the water.
They were paddling an 18-foot-long canoe down the Mississippi River as part of a mission to raise money and awareness for the group Stop Soldier Suicide.
They stopped in Cape Girardeau for the night and left Friday morning for their next stop at Price Landing, in Scott County, Missouri.
This did not go as planned.
According to the Cape Girardeau Fire Department, the current was so strong that the canoe hit a buoy and the force threw one of the boaters into the river.
The man, Frank Lachinski, ended up getting caught in the current and was carried downriver close to the Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge.
Crews launched their rescue boats and got to Lachinski within minutes.
They pulled him into a rescue boat and brought him safely to shore.
Lachinski’s daughter also made it safely to shore.
Firefighters say someone passing by pulled her out of the water between Red Star and the Broadway floodgate.
Despite the accident, Lachinski is in good spirits and said this is the first time anything like this has happened.
He also noted that they didn’t lose any supplies.
Firefighters praise Lachinski and his daughter for wearing inflatable life jackets. They said it likely saved their lives.
Lachinski told us he and his best friend and fellow veteran, Jerry Broschofsky, their mission to reach the Gulf of Mexico in mid-October continues.
They said, “This ain’t stoppin’ them.”
Both men and Lachinski’s daughter continued the canoeing journey shortly before 11:30 a.m.

No. 6 Ole Miss (10-1, 6-1 SEC) will square off against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Friday in Starkville for an Egg Bowl matchup at Davis Wade Stadium.
Lane Kiffin and Co. will look to cancel out the outside chatter with an opportunity to capture a victory and punch their ticket to the College Football Playoff.
Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy is in the midst of a historic season for the Rebels with the fiery offensive weapon looking to once again lead the program in Week 14.
“It comes with having a support system, like my coaches, just trusting and believing in me,” Lacy said of his success this season. “Coming in here, putting in long hours of watching film with my coaches. Going through walkthroughs.
“It’s just a great feeling coming out here and showing what I to do and having the ability with my offensive line and the receivers. Showing it out there and going 1-0 [each week].”
Now, as the outside buzz swirls surrounding Kiffin’s future, the betting odds have been adjusted for Friday’s matchup against Mississippi State.
Matchup: Ole Miss Rebels at Mississippi State Bulldogs
Kickoff Time: 11 a.m. CT
Venue: Davis Wade Stadium – Starkville (Miss.)

Ole Miss is currently listed as 7.5-point favorites on the road against a struggling Mississippi State Bulldogs squad
The over/under for the matchup sits at 63.5 with the Ole Miss offense looking to wreak havoc against the Bulldogs.
“I mean, you say that, but people said the same thing about the Florida game – that there was all these distractions and how can a team focus – and I think they played pretty well,” Kiffin said Monday.
“I don’t have anything more to say about that. But I think our team has been very focused since noise has been out there, all the way back to the Oklahoma game and in the tunnel before that, that morning and everything. What are they, 4-0? So, pretty good job by them.”
