Several patrons joined him, everyone staying low.

It was Omar Mateen (L), age 29, an American who had purchased the rifle and a handgun in the past week and pledged allegiance to ISIS. He was later killed by police. WATCH JOE KELLY VIDEO HERE

Ferguson told Feder, the accident happened on Powers Lake in Wisconsin, just southeast of Lake Geneva, where he owns a vacation home. He described the scene as “a complete inferno” when the WaveRunner exploded. “[It] launched me 15 feet in the air, and I landed about 20 yards from the machine,” he said. “I was scooped out of the water by a passing WaveRunner [and] ended up in the hospital all day Saturday. They thought they’d need a trauma team, but amazingly, I walked in with some nasty bruises and needed a few stitches. I had the battery of CAT scans, MRI’s and X-rays. All were negative. They anticipated some facial reconstruction, but I got the all clear.”
