he's a badass, and quite humble "part of a team, we all did this"

too bad the person she was with wasn't wearing a life jacket, they drowned :(

I don't get it. You go down into a torrent chained to a crane and you're a hero? The hero is that woman, who managed to stay afloat in that turmoil. Not lessening the rescue, not at all, but come on - the guy was attached to a crane and pretty much safe.

he didn't have to do it, he's a construction worker. they were nearby and noticed the rescue crew were unable to reach her. because of their efforts only one person died there. stepping up to the moment when you're needed makes you a hero in my book.
- Ah, I agree. That part of the story doesn't show in the video. I'm sorry then for my hastily remark.Corvo2

Why not the boat in the first place

- the little rescue boat couldn't get through the current to herversion3
- Oh right. But why not the rescuers go on the crane?JourNYC
- In that kind of thrust you don't need a boat. Any solid thing becomes a weapon. Also it looks like they were too nearCorvo2
- the gates of a dam? If that's the case, that woman is very lucky she got rescued. Also, how did they get so close?Corvo2
