The Amazing Rescue From the Utah River

[ordastorm]

A lot of guardian angels in the same room! Bless you all <3

[ally510569]

@votefan you got a smaller penis by saying that . Dont tell me you dont cry when your mum passes away!

[tenspoonsofspin]

@ally510569 Women know that men who are strong enough to cry are sexy.

[votefan]

the big guy in 2:40 cried? really? he must have had the smallest penis in the room. If he had a big penis he wouldn't have cried like that

[Sushiii94]

@votefan

the woman next to the big guy had that "golden seat", probably the kids' mom, so i think the big guy is also part of the family.. i think it's sweet that he cried like that.

[lakitalover]

Aww. This made me cry. Thank you, brave citizens of Utah for reminding everyone that there are still some truly good people in the world.

[superme010]

0-1 for respiratory therapist

[packanacky]

@96alyssaa I would vote for her in 1 second!

[96alyssaa]

ELLEN FOR PRESIDENT.

[bballdance94]

so amazing <3 the blond woman who picked up the children is really pretty!

[AmoonAz1]

God Bless Them =) ! Such Amazing People !!

[allme1998]

Elen is such a giver i luv her :)

[murphyiloveu]

AMAZING!!!!!

[DestinyHopeAreStars1]

So sad then happy

[Theclassofawesome72]

Itiots dislike this the most amazing story ever

[oliviayc12345]

Why do 5 people dislike this!

[manadapanada]

Jesus, Ellen needs to stop making me cry. What a wonderful story..

[synchrosk8ter4]

whos the blond girl? she was in the car and was not related to the driver?

[themaha666]

Ellen is a person with a warm and kind heart I never cried before this much just by what she does for people in need god bless u Ellen

[StrategicTactical]

I just have to say that this whole thing has been pretty over whelming. I now have 8 more friends and three more kids that are part of my family. Ellen, it was truly a surprise... To those that coordinated this, you are amazing as well. Thanks for the fabulous memories. And to the kids, I love each and everyone of you. I have kept it together pretty well until we were all back stage and I saw you three walk out... then it was all I could do to hold back the tears.

[Nirokr]

Ellen U make me cry with happy tears all the time.. U have such a great heart.. I only wish i can see you one day

[SevenIAmo7]

I absolutely love that expression at 7:24. ;D

[SevenIAmo7]

Our Dearest Ellen, you never fail to inspire us.

[amiangel14]

@lovefight1136 Yh! I was thinking the same!!

[amiangel14]

@Marquessa111 Yh! I don't really get y they got so much money tbh! The Disney land thing they deserved and the heros deserved their gifts as well though!

[coolcicada]

I believe the gentleman carrying the gun was a trooper, meaning a member of the law enforement.

If I'm wrong, in some states your allowed to carry a concealed weapon provided that you have a license.

[shorteeeeeey]

What 4 ppl could dislike this it better hav been a misclick this made me cry to

[sassy12696]

This made me cry. It is a miracle that those people are still alive.

@Shairwhite1, I see what you mean, but maybe he has a license to carry? But he didn't use it to harm, he used it to save lives. that's why nobody's thinking anything of it.

[lindalds]

Yes, the Utah Trooper, Phil, is donating all his prizes to a charity benefitting the families of other Utah law enforcement officers who were killed in the line of duty.

[shariwhite1]

Maybe it's just my Canadian nature, but why didn't anybody react to the fact that a passerby just happened to be carrying a gun. Nobody even blinked. My parents live in LA and they would think that's strange......

[TaraJiyeonSaengie]

Wow ..

[Kathymaus88]

I love that American people huge a lot !! :-))

[pablitoeleman]

This made me cry... Ellen ur everyone's Angel....

[QuasiNoModo]

Unfortunately it was against the law for the officer to receive any gifts for his work, he donated it. =)

[cutybee4321]

@QuasiNoModo ohh so thats why he shook his head at 7:23 when she was talking about the 12 days of giveaway

[QuasiNoModo]

@cutybee4321 Yup. It was on the news over here in Utah.

[t2mar4]

oh Ellen- When I heard you say you are all getting all 12 days of gifts, I was stunned. What an amazing person you are to make these heroes special. 

[RachelSingJie]

I don't know why but I cried when the people who saved them came out

[BFFforever1231]

Is the little blonde girl related to the survivors?? And was she in the car?

[EmmaAwesomeSauce29]

@BFFforever1231 No, she's not related, just a friend I think. She was in the car. 

[TheLameguest]

honestly i think thats a little too much stuff

[sophieambro]

some people are just SOO AMAZING... these guys are real heroes totally unseen as said :)

[Marquessa111]

Okay so to pay for my kids's education I'll crash into a river..... It's been decided.

[199Cupcakes]

@Marquessa111 This nothing to joke about.

[TheBubblybriana]

6:52-7:02 the little boy was like 'OOOOOOOOOOOO giant pieces of paper.... i want one! i want one!... man why does she get one,i want one...ill just take yours oh wait i get my own, thats right.

[causeshecares]

Woootttt!!

Haha I know like everyone there!Great People & hereos!

Blessed to have the Anderson family & Wildman family here today, and sAFE (:

[Chokopoky]

These people are true heroes.

[22dduck]

was it normal to cry this much ? <3

[neecehaller]

amazing how some people can be such downers... this was an amazing thing... most hero's get nothing for putting their life on the line... military, police, fire... so what if Ellen spend some money thanking those people who rescued 4 people.. I say good for you... She DOES do a lot for the people here in the US... sorry about the people in Africa... I don't think ellen will be able to solve that problem.. so why not just be happy? (meant for certain pessimistic jerks)

[BaThEeShA]

@neecehaller Ellen is just one person we can expect her to solve all problems. For one person she does so much its way beyond amazing. This is why other famous/celebrities should do with their money instead of wasting them on drugs and other things.

[dustspeck14]

WOW! AMAZING!! :D

[anyawoo1]

lol the policemans shining badge...:)

[Aquamirin]

Man

Ellen must be rich

[bellabelieber98]

@CaptainIgglypuff and what does that have to do with anything? This is an amazing story and we shouldn't be comparing, and anyway what is ellen supposed to do about that?

[paulcognito]

Damnnn all twelve days

[CaptainIgglypuff]

while their saying this, millions are dying in africa...

[SimpleLife49]

@CaptainIgglypuff

lol millions?

but yeah way to be pessimistic.

[musicvoho]

ellen is really the most fanatastic person on this planet...she is pure gold i just love her show so much and teh story is so touching.

[midnightprincessful]

Ellen is the most AMAZING person on the planet!!!

[osnapizvida]

so sad thank god they are ok

[zonerboi22]

giveaways are not the same without Hot Mess!

[lovefight1136]

0:40 What 2 year old female??!

[jonathanyadirbq]

He could be an actor, he has THE face

[SleepyDisso]

Good job they were in the Mormon capital.

[FManonC]

Thanks for having people like them this is truly awesome!

And Ellen, you're awesome! It's so cool to thank them on this way wow!

This show is amazing because it promotes ordinary people like that who are heroes, and this is also a moment of fun, love, peace, equality, dance, and talents! :D

I LOVE YOU ELLEN!!

[alyanazura]

should have sumting or gate cover the river

[skaterkid901]

Am I right in thinking that I'm watching a clip about what America's really like? What a lovely story.

[suesuedsue]

It's nice of Ellen to show that good deeds like this don't go unnoticed and deserve reward. She may not be able to cover every heroic deed people do, but she does try to do her part in showcasing how amazing people can be.

[10thmt87]

Hey, It's Utah it what we do. Good job Chris and the others.

[blindblessing1]

This is an awesome story<333 Praise God everyone is safe.. Thanks for this wonderful story<333

[veerleke]

I know Ellen means well, but somehow giving these people all of that stuff on her show makes their act look less beautiful. It was such a brave, heroic, true , pure act, why have to connect all kinds of iphones and plasmaTV's with it? The lives and smiles of these kids where the most precious thank you and now that somehow got blurred acbit.The beauty was that they did it out of love, instinct, humanity, not for 'presents', fame and hollywood thankyous. Sorry Ellen.

[ItsVickkToriiOuss]

The expression on the recusers faces when they found out about getting all the 12 day give aways. <3 They deserve it. Great people. Glad that the family is doing good! Blessed.

[jcqf7]

ellen is so sweeeeeeeeeet

[xblondexprincess]

I cried.

[Jessieboocherry]

:) I'm happy they r alive!!

[LadyGagaforever2011]

They really deserve those 12 days of give ways and more! I'm so proud of how good people they are. :)

Good on you ! :)

[snowballs26sr]

That's why I love Ellen!!

She's a wonderful person

[noah2806]

[natatat1996]

trafficlightsareoptional.blogs­pot.com

[natatat1996]

[gold1151]

[brandeesims]

Logan people are some of the most wonderful people.

[PLazz257]

[StreamBornHappy]

[StreamBornHappy]

[MicSow75]

A truly remarkable story!!



[spiker2309]

ok,,at 2:27,,my eyes was flooded with tears~

[stephaniebarney]

Lol they were in shock

[RushSTRM]

Well at least there was no arrows in knees...

[rmnangl]

Amazing story!! I'm glad that I live in this kind of community! Second time within about 6 months that Great people have jumped into action to save others while risking their own lives. The last time was in September lifting a burning car to pull a motorcyclist out from under it! The Logan Area is Amazing!! I love it!!

[StephydaLion]

This made me cry, Its amazing to think that these kind people would risk there lifes for strangers. God Bless Them!

[TheFeather45]

This is a very touching story and god bless the people who were in the bad situation and the people who helped god bless their hearts

[rykukia]

I always cry when I watch these touching videos ;A; I promised myself I wouldn't cry anymore.

[olimakiella]

what I really loved about this is that none of the rescuers reacted very much to the gifts they received. Proves truly that nothing they did was for a reward. God bless all of them.

[khuong204]

The minute those doors opened and I saw the people that rescued this family, I started crying. Ordinary people are heroes and I am so happy that the family is okay :)

[bugatti272]

Ellen if you ever do get to read this I want you to know that you are just a magnificent person.

[sr016ify]

Wow. What a touching and inspiring video.

Beautiful

[ashwinipriyaa]

No fighting you're each getting all of it . It's hard to believe what ellen is giving away.

[itsvictoriaalee]

[FreakMindism]

[naomiellen8]

[jayko05prototipo]

Guadalupe de ramirez 2011

[Dnguyen1319]

OH MY GOD

[MrLukeMB]

:)

[sayhayho27]

[sayhayho27]

[thelovleypriscilla]

The guy sitting on the couch with the kids, they're dad?

[EllieAnne]

[HL147oN]

[MoeKnowsIt]

[MoeKnowsIt]

This is amazing. They're all so beautiful and good-looking.

[musicbirdyx]

[lemonblueberrys]

Watching this on my phone in starbucks...fighting back tears.

[tsalas41]

Im loving the big tuff bald man in the audiance crying! lol So kindhearted. :0)

[metamorphosis14]

people who dislike this is crap, shitheads, Doushbags......they should go to hell

[brittaaaaaaaaaaaany]

Sitting here BAWLING.

[justinabe9]

YouTube should undothese 3 dislikes and make so that no one can dislike this video

[Maiarien]

So glad those people were there and willing to help those kids...love happy endings

[purpleperfect9]

I live in Utah and i haven't heard about this!!! They are all heroes

[Predator408]

Anyone can make a difference, heroes like this aren't seen everyday

[Linabobina1]

Who would unlike this???

[Earthygirl00]

so much respect for them

[01bunnyfunnyTD]

that is amazing glad everyone is safe!!

[ArinRyu]

They can have a second Christmas with all those gifts LOL

Glad everyone is saved. Heroes got recognized. Happy ending.. :D

[TheLibster24]

God Bless those who put others first in the face of danger

[oeo1997]

Awwww!!

[SkylarWaldvogel]

wow, i got goosebumps watching this. amazing video<3

[jbee807]

Truly amazing!!!!!

[TheMainMan318]

ellen is amazing, she is the only one still giving away things from her christmas giveaway and to so many people

[ReesterKeesters]

I cringed when I saw this for the first time. That water is really cold in the summer, I can't imagine what it is like in the winter. I don't ever want to find out. If those people had not worked as fast as they did to get them out, this story would have had a horrible ending.

[ironairify]

Those men clearly don't watch the ellen show and have no idea what the 12 days of giveaways are.....they're like "thanks ellen for the.... 12 what?!"

[jinalebcooll]

@ironairify u just said it ''those men''... men dont watch ellen degeneres:P

[daniellehake]

I may be a little emotional right now... but I cried. I love when celebrity's really take the time to thank the heroes of this world that don't get thanked enough.

[OhMyGoshKenz]

i just watched this on tv! the people who saved them are true heros. <3

[ReesterKeesters]

I live in an amazing community. I am proud to call these people my neighbors.

[MissFrenchChick09]

The thing that gets me every time is watching the man at 2:39 unabashedly wipe away his tears.

[meeto2008]

ooooh Ellen you are more than amazing ..

Ellen is one of a kind ..

the world needs some more Ellen's

[MissFrenchChick09]

The thing that gets me every time is watching the man at 2:39 unabashedly wiping his tears away.

[yumchocolatee1]

ellen really knows how to thank people lol

[pongorocks11]

@BENZBUNNYRABIT

I meant my new that I'm new to making videos!

I'm 11 years old lay off!

[cheeznchocox]

She's TOO nice :(

[arentweawesome]

yes maam!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheSarococo]

3 people don't believe in hope.

These are 3 young, beautiful kids we're talking about that almost freezed to death!

9 amazing heros that risked their own lives.

A father who cared for his kids more than his life.

Bless you!

Oh. BTW.

I love Ellen!

[CuhlaireG]

@ReneVicky You mean disliked..?

[ReneVicky]

Whoever has liked this, I hope you die. This is an amazing touching story with many amazing and true hero's. Picture you and your family being caught underwater literally seconds, minutes away from death. These amazing people have saved the lives of a family. This is a truly amazing story and Ellen, thank-you for introducing this to me and my family. You people who have disliked this and people who will in the future. RE-THINK. Don't be a low-life centered freaks. God bless all of you.

[tamilsouljahz25]

@ReneVicky don't you mean whoever "disliked" this...not liked this.

[HaRuZuKiCHaN]

Daaaamn...

I know thats not the whole point but that is a lot of stuff they got, lol...

[TammyFlores1]

What an inspiring story.

[XsamanthaxStarburstX]

Ellen is a Amazing person!! i'am so happy they saved thoose babys!!

[brunetteDUH]

omg everything is worth $30,000 x 9 people = $270,000 OMG

[kingofgames35]

@brunetteDUH she makes that every 2 or so months lol. plus i think most of that stuff is paid for by the actual companies

[JumpForIt01]

I am crying my eyes out! These people are amazing! The world needs more people like this! They were brave and selfless and just wow!

[nycitynygirl09]

Such an amazing story! I am so happy that they are all safe and healthy!!

[BlowAverageLookinGuy]

Wonderful human being!!!!!
