Flood waters create some amazing rescue opportunities for Albuquerque firefighters. Watch as they struggle to rescue one of their own and end up losing an innocent civilian as they float to their ultimate doom. (1989)
Brave officers, but they don't know what they are doing, at all!!! Where's the lifejackets and the down stream safety ropes??? Can't expect regular police officers to know river rescue.
This was an example video on a river rescue course i did some years ago, an example of how not to do it. Unfortunately the kid was never seen again.
the rescue rope shouldnt have been at 90 degrees to the flow of water, the rescue technique was incorrect and unfortunately someone lost their life. R.I.P
brave action by the police! RIP for the kid :(

It's so hard to watch the part where that thing hits the kid and she gets carried away...Especially because this isn't Hollywood...it's REAL!

For those asking questions about this, yes the kid died, and the cop was disabled.
Youtube won't let me post the link, do a search for "american whitewater accident 202" and it should be the first result.
