A Heart-stopping Rescue.

How would you react if you see someone caught in between a life and death situation? Would you help him yourself, call someone for help, or just walk away as if you've seen nothing? It is innate in every human being to be helpful of their fellow, however, not all act it on in times a situation calls for it.

Video screen shot from facebook.

In this video is a man trying very hard to save his life with the help of a few concerned men. The man was brought by a muddy flood to the river. The very strong flood current almost had him lost his grip on one of the bridge's foundation. More than a handful of men were on the bridge watching the man but only a few of them actually acted on helping the poor man save his life.

The first attempt to save him failed because he could not sustain a good grip on the rope that was thrown to him. The concerned men then tied an inflated car tire interior on one end of the rope and threw it to the man who's on the brink of getting washed off. The man successfully got a hold of it but as he was being pulled up, you'll see him slowly losing the energy of taking his whole body weight on his arms considering the wet and muddy hands he's got from the flood. You'll surely have your hearts pounding real fast seeing that particular scene. It'll have you crossing fingers, hoping that the man, with all of the men's help, will be able to successfully get off of the river.

മരണത്തിനും ജീവിതത്തിനും ഇടയില്‍ ഒരു നിമിഷം ...!!!

And indeed, the rescue was a success! We may not all be happy with how it was performed but at least they were able to save a life.
