Two men from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration were in the Weasel Brook inspecting the President Street Bridge in the town of Passaic when it started raining profusely. The heavy rains caused the water level to rise from several inches to approximately eleven feet in minutes sweeping both men away. One man was rescued, but the other was not and was found deceased in the Passaic River the following day.
