When New York City Police Officer Artur Kasprzak saw Hurricane Sandy send flood waters raging through his Staten Island home around 7 p.m. Monday, he did what came naturally.
He put everyone else first. It ended up costing him his life.
After Kasprzak ushered seven of his family members – six adults and one 15-month-old baby boy – to safety in the attic, he told his girlfriend he was going to the basement for one more look around.
He never came back. At 7:23 p.m., his girlfriend called 911 and reported him missing. A police scuba unit and emergency personnel responded immediately using Zodiac boats and jet skis but could not get close to his home due to live power lines in the water, police said.
