  • In my defense I did not have the energy to say how grateful I was for all of you that saved my life.... considering that I was underwater in the hydrolic system for minutes at a time. This is the nice part of the of the nasty situation that we all put ourselves into. You don't get to see the awful/brutal parts. I am only human and I make mistakes. I would now like to take the time to tell all of you that help save my life that there aren't enough words I can write how grateful I am for you.

  • @bojibri As I remember things, you and the last guy we pulled out, thanked me many,many times. You were all in shock just a little bit and understandably so. Even though you probably dont remember it, You did. It was a very scary situation (more so for you, im sure) So just seeing the three of you walk up the bank was all I had hoped for.

  • i am the second guy to the left (holding the rope). we were just walking back to our car and we seen these 3 in the river. first thought was oh my! but we quickly got a rope and started pulling them in. i was scared for my own life as well as everybody else's. when i left the 3 people were on shore catching their breath, no ambulance was there(for at least 30 mins). those 3 were not gratefull at all, not even a "thanks man".

  • @mrred712 I will say Thank You!! It took everybody to do what was done to save those kids. Was the other guy to the right with you/ who is he?

see all

MY HAT GOES OFF TO THE GUYS RESCUE'N THE 3 PEOPLE!!!AWESOME JOB GUYS!!! AND WAY TO GO TO THE ONES IN THE WATER TO HANG ON LIKE YOU DID. IT HAD TO FEEL LIKE YOU WERE GONNA DROWN AND LIKE IT TOOK FOREVER WHEN ACTUALLY THE VDEO WAS ONLY 6.04 MIN. GOD WAS DEFFINATELY AT LINN GROVE ON THAT DAY MAKING SURE EVERYONE INVOLVED WENT HOME SAFE!

  • This is so scary, my biggest fear is getting sucked inside a pipe in a dam. What was it like? can you remember?

  • This would never happen to The Park Street River Rats!

  • They didn't even say thanks!?!? So dumb they can't even say "Thank You for SAVING my life."
