VIDEO: The Milwaukee Fire Department diver who nearly lost his own life while trying to rescue a woman from the Kinnickinnic River is sharing his story. John Cooley gave details to FOX6 News about the most dangerous dive of his life -- and getting back in the water. "This is one of the worst calls we've been on," said Lt. Kevin Monoghan, Milwaukee Fire Department. Police were chasing an SUV on New Year's Eve, when the driver lost control and crashed into the KK River with three people trapped inside. Cooley was the first diver in the water. "I kept sinking and sinking," said Cooley.
