Passengers scream as Florida alligator leaps into airboat
MIAMI — A Missouri couple vacationing in Florida had a close encounter with an alligator when it leapt into their airboat and became wedged in the boat’s railing.
Passengers screamed as 30-year-old Tylor Hindery of Springfield, Missouri, captured the moment in a Facebook live video posted Tuesday.
Hinderey tells the Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/2k7Tx4D ) he talked his wife Emerald into an airboat ride.
The guide killed the engine and floated close to the bank so people could photograph the gator.
