6 Souls Saved as Rescuers Respond to Sinking Boat
Published
Florida authorities leapt into action after a boat started to go down on a lake … with dramatic video showing first responders saving 6 souls.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office shared the video of the May 2 catastrophe … which begins with the boat already sinking — water lapping up the sides and into the craft.
As the water level rises, a few of the occupants grab life vests and jump into the water … while others remain onboard.
A boat pulls up right next to the ship and — after a little help from authorities — everyone on the sinking ship is pulled to safety. A Good Samaritan picked up the people in the water … and no one suffered any serious injury during the scary incident.
According to authorities … a storm advisory had been issued on the day of the incident –warnings authorities say all boaters should take note of in the future.
Thank goodness there were no gators in this Florida lake!
