“Me and my nephew decided to walk through that to get to the spot because we wanted to fish on top of the dam … It was real hot, so we stood inside for a few seconds,” Miles said.
Miles has a passion for photography and fishing. He said he wanted to take photos of the area.
“I took a step forward … Next thing I know, it was just free fall,” Miles said. “But all I really remember is hearing my nephew scream my name.”…
