[span class="headline"]JUST ONCE I'D LIKE TO SEE A HEADLINE THAT SAYS A COUPLE OF WOMEN DIED TRYING TO RESCUE A MAN. THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN, UNLESS IT'S "RESCUING" HIM FROM PICKING OUT THE WRONG COLOR SHOES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
A WOMAN RISK HER LIFE FOR A MAN? NEVER HAPPENS. NEVER NEVER NEVER.

[/p] ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Two men drowned in Tampa Bay after they jumped in to save the wife of one of them, who had fallen off their boat, authorities said.[/p] Richard Hostutler and James Smith, both of the Tampa Bay area, were not wearing life jackets Saturday afternoon in their attempt to rescue Hostutler's wife, who survived, officials said.[/p] A sudden storm caused strong currents that pushed the men away from their 21-foot boat and complicated rescue efforts, said Joy Hill, a spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.[/p] People in another boat spotted Smith's wife yelling for help and pulled the three from the water, Hill said. It was not known when the men were pronounced dead.[/p] [!-- BEGIN MEDIA BOX NUMBER 2 --][!-- END MEDIA BOX NUMBER 2 --] Alcohol might have been a factor in the accident, said Lt. Rick Feinberg of St. Petersburg Fire Rescue.[/p][/span]
