Rescue 911 - "Pontoon Boat Save" 

I’m the Mom We owed everyone and I mean everyone a heartfelt thank you. Filming it a year later we got to meet and personally hug and thank everyone for their efforts to save Mark. It was a miracle. One link in that chain to save him would of had a very different outcome. They were all so happy to see him running around. They said validated that what they do is so important !!! Mark is 34 a software engineer. He’s 6 ft 3 inches tall. He’s a very happy fella and has many friends and interests

The lady who came to save the boy really was an angel..God sent her..

This beautiful and brave young woman saved this boy's life by taking off the lifejacket that he was wearing and bringing up to the surface and doing CPR on him She's truly hero Girl Power!!!!

Hey guys, I'm not spontaneously coming out of "retirement", but I decided to upload a few "new" segments since today is the 30th anniversary of Rescue 911's premiere. Enjoy!

I don’t mean to criticize these folks because accidents do happen, but this one to me is just a major lack of common sense. To sit on the front edge at 6 years old and not even be holding him, where he could obviously fall and get sucked back through the opening to the motor, which is exactly what happened, is just ludicrous to me. How common sense was not present. All that aside I’m glad that these parents didn’t pay the ultimate price for their lack of sense.

by the way today marks 30 years since Rescue 911's "pilot episode".

Mom says the line about sitting next to daddy & it just makes me think back to like 3 aka ago visiting my dads house, boating on the lake in this type of boat, him telling me how’s there been multiple deaths and injuries this summer alone from sitting up there. geeze louise... Nowadays there are signs posted all over these types of boats telling you not to sit there while in motion. I wonder if they had signs back then (that ppl just ignored also)

That girl was a hero!

Today marks 26 years since this happened so Mark is 32 now. He must've been in a bad situation being trapped underwater with his life jacket caught on the boat propeller. That was frightening. Women can help in emergencies too. In fact everyone can, even kids. Shelley deserves most of the credit. If she didn’t help, I don’t think Mark would be here today. I’m sure Mark can never thank Shelley enough for what she did to help him.

OMG. This is what happened to my sister; she got trapped underwater in a warm environment for more than 3 minutes. She didn't return without noticeable & severe brain injury bc of anoxia. (A loss of oxygen created by a trauma.) This happened over 30 years ago & she's never recovered from the loss of oxygen.

My late husband and I decided to go to whiskeytown lake (30 min from home) taking our daughters 11 and 14 yrs old.,I packed a picnic and we were all fishing off the back of our pontoon boat having fun..my youngest daughter went to the front of the boat outside the gate of the boat to fish off the patio area.. She leaned over too far and fell in,,I was hysterical..I knew the boat was on top of her but thankfully it was a pontoon boat plus the outboard motor was off as we were using the trolling motor to fish,.I saw her hand reaching out of the water and I yanked her out of the water like she was a feather, still screaming..thankfully she wasn't injured..whew!..

Happy 30th anniversary rescue 911

The mother doesn’t sound too grateful they saved her sons life. She wanted to be hero.

Another good new episodes. Thanks 🙏

What an awesome awesome story. Thank God He he is well and healthy.

She sounds mad the helicopter “just took off”?? Like they’re saving your kid.

Welcome back!

She’s a hero

Always hold yourself with the person sitting right next to you and add some restraints or seat belts just in case so you won't fall under any circumstances

What was the name of the Medevac helicopter 🚁 Mark was flown to the hospital?

All parents should know CPR

And that is why I always carry a pair of scissors with me

That’s unlucky to get stuck to the propellers

Will you post the premiere episode of Rescue 911 up soon

“The day was beautiful” the sky- *clouds*

The motor has a hydraulic lift on it it that raises and lowers the engine. As soon as he fell in the water the motor could've been raised and they wouldn't have to go through all of that

With that type of boat it's not safe to sit infront, because if you fall you going under the boat to the propeller.

28 years since this happened so Mark is 34 now. He must've been in a bad situation being trapped underwater with his life jacket caught on the boat propeller. That was frightening. Women can help in emergencies too. In fact everyone can, even kids. Shelley deserves most of the credit. If she didn’t help, I don’t think Mark would be here today. I’m sure Mark can never thank Shelley enough for what she did to help him. This happened on a Thursday. When I saw Mark get stuck, I was scared.

everyone's worst boating nightmare

Wow wonder why we didn’t hear from Mark

Why didn't they raise the motor when they realized the boy was there?

Missouri Water Partol In Arkansas?

Women can help in emergencies no matter what.

It’s been 30 years since this happened so Mark is 36 now.

This happened two weeks before my 11th birthday.

At the time this happened, I was two weeks away from my 11th birthday and my brother was 8 3/4. It has been two months since we moved to Charlotte, North Carolina from Fountain Hills, Arizona. It was going to be my first birthday in Charlotte North Carolina. If I was present at the time this happened, it wouldn’t have been a great early birthday present.

You shouldn’t sit near the edge of the boat while it’s in motion

I live in Arkansas!

this the year i was born when this happen

What had cause the christmas tree fire in 1991

There is no Ozark county in Arkansas

should not have been up front really

Hey coming to be a nurse's aide and almost there
