CPR was administered to those who had been rescued, and both were transported to an area hospital, she said.
Choze said the jet ski picked up three of the victims and two were able to swim to the shoreline. Rosenberg, a father of eight, was the owner of Certified Lumber. They ended up at an unguarded area of Haulover Beach.
