Valley teens awarded Carnegie Medal for brave water rescue 

How the 2 girls end up there in the first place with that rough water? Is it because the want a great photo to post in sosial media, and then slipped in the water or what?

@@Algojo Maybe she was just getting close to the water and slipped

@@Algojo that’s not what’s matters in the end though. It is a lesson for them to learn though. There aren’t a lot of those people around

As a lifeguard I’ll tell you it’s because people are retarded and even if they can’t swim they’ll go into deep water.

well its also cause the rock slippery af

I was going to say the same thing. They definitely could pass for brothers or even twins.

I was looking for this comment.

That's what i'm talking bout.

@@annleigh_ always have to put the color of someone’s skin into stuff huh? Weird.

If you told me they were brothers I wouldn't even question it.

Right? The camera guy didn't do anything

They probably get a ton of ass now

@@randomvintagefilm273 If the camera person didn't have the skills to jump in, they were better off behind the camera.

@@randomvintagefilm273Their trained lifeguards they have some experience, jumping in can cause more problems. Had to help pry open a door with my crowbar in a car crash, I knew how to use it. Sometimes it’s best to get help

Water rescue is extremely dangerous. I did some rescue training, the first thing you learn is the person in trouble is more dangerous then the water, because they will push/pull you down to try and stay up

Absolutely 💯

True heroes I said video where these young guys were watching somebody drown and they were laughing what happened so it isn't what anybody would do it's what a hero did or does

@Cory Burns got a link, you fat fuckin’ liar?

It is what anyone else would do. Especially trained life guards. I think it's awesome this happened. I'm laughing a bit because...of this.... I jumped into riptide in St Pete Florida swam out approx 200 meters with an 5 gallon bucket to save a family of 4 they each were able to barely hang on ..the current brought us back to the inner coastal...that took about 20 min and the dad almost gave up twice while we were out there. There were two adults in there early 50s and 2 children approx 8 and 10 they were terrible swimmers and I am certain they would have lost a family member that afternoon. We floated back to "passe grille beach inlet" and by the time we'd made it back...I heard more screams coming from behind me. I got them to shore..swam out about 50 meters and was able to guide the other swimmer. He was attempting to rescue the other family and had grown too exhausted in his efforts. I got to him just in time. As we all regrouped at the beach people had began to gather. I was sure they were fine the ambulance and fire department showed up and my work was done. I began to walk back to the group I was with, the mother, now being cared for by the fire department yelled thank you! You saved my family!! Please let me thank that man she said as she tried to sit up...the last thing I remember is a St Pete police officer say...ma'am highly doubt it was him... folks like him dont swim. She was lifted up in a stretcher and slid into an ambulance. I left out that I'm a black man... apparently we can't swim? That's exactly what that officer meant when he said what he said. Because I was serving in the military at the time I looked exactly like a swimmer...in shape and highly motivated... I said your welcome ma'am. My team mates and I left (3witnesses) and I haven't thought about this incident since it happened 7 years ago. I hope that family is okay. And I hope people keep being heros..good job boys. The two of you just made a life long memory for that little girl

nah, it's the teachers

Recently, there was a black man that saved the life of a Law Enforcement officer but he did not get a Carnegie Award....

YES INDEED!!!

I’m guessing your comment worked, because I just got recommended this video

And we rarely ever see it😒

So sorry.😢

Why would they even be in that area is the question. Sounds like the parents fault.

@@hector5749 I lived and played near Sunset Cliffs my whole life. It is packed every weekend with people. We used to jump from the arch all the time but that is no longer allowed. The brave jump was from the street though. It is a beautiful and popular spot that attracts a lot of visitors. They did nothing wrong by being there.

That's what I thought at first, very sus...

People over dramatize when human instinct comes naturally.

@@boogiedownforever > Yes, and prayer's abound with extra blessing's! :-)

Totally awesome young mens

I don't think this behavior is good because they would be possibly sacrificing their lives for someone they don't know and that people (the ones in the water) got there by their own stupidity. Why shouldn't they just go and save them?? because first they don't know the situation and they don't have help(from authorities or other people) and imagine how would the families of the "heroes" feel if they died? And finally, I think the correct solution would be to call 911 (I think that's the number of the united states emergency call)

@@akira1404 One of the teenagers had finished "lifeguard training" ...they were both born and raised in the area and knew about the dangerous waters. They had probably been taught different options of what to do in that kind of situation at lifeguard school. Why would you question what we consider good behavior? Oh, that's right...you are NOT an American. America is known as "The Land of the Free and The Home of the Brave" for a reason... I forgive you though, unless you ARE an American, you wouldn't understand. 🤯

Not to mention that he had one girl on his back and the other by his hand. Amazing stuff.

JESUS IS LORD 🙏

@@USVET-yv6fd Man that wasn't jesus saving those kids... give props where props are due. If you really believe in divine intervention, then why do literally over 100,000+ people (many of which are innocent people) die daily

Gods plan. He doesn't just take the guilty, also the Innocent. He had his own son, who never sinner ever, die a most brutal death, so others could be forgiven of our sins. Those boys are no doubt absolutely amazing heros, but God set that meeting up. Those boys were there that day for a reason! Everything happens for a reason! Have a blessed day yall ✌️❤

@@precisionpostholes1911 The great movie director in the sky directing this entire thing

@Lamrich Gaming - Steam Card Giveaway on 4/16 Well, I know I can't swim soooo. Yeah I'm not getting no medal.

@Lamrich Gaming - Steam Card Giveaway on 4/16 Look up tsunami videos of 2004 and 2011. There are literally tons of videos. In fact the mother of these kids didn't even jump into the water.

Unfortunately even if there are some people so good and brave, things don't go everytime as this.. I would like to share a story that happened a few years ago in the region where I live, in memory of the person who saved two people but died in the process: Two tourists went into the sea even if that day there was a strong wind and it was recommended to not go into the sea. Indeed in a few minutes they were dragged away by the underwater currents and were risking to die. A young man just got into the waters to save this two people (strangers to him), he successfully drag them nearer to the shore but then he was dragged himself by the current and died. It was really sad that a young man died for the stupidity of two people.

most people would have their iPhones out filming the girls drowning, then rushing to post it to youtube. No, these young men are rare these days.

Not all people would jump especially if you cannot swim but you need to think fast and improvise to help the kid then immediately call for help.

Perhaps everyone with lifeguard qualifications would have done that. But I certainly wouldn't have been very useful in that particular situation...

@@sbarmiueenl yeah, i would probably just have drowned with them lol

Most men would

@@ian9toes Of course they would

Inbreeding is common for these kind of ppl.

And perhaps if the Carnegie staff had been notified your nephew might have also received that award. But, rest assured, the Lord knows of his good deed. And now…so do all of us.

@Dwight St. John, Except the only reason why they aren’t considered STUPID is because the 2 brother heroes survived

@@missld6856 Exactly it was extremely stupid and many times it ends up with the "heroes" also dying. The correct thing is never attempt water rescue and contact emergency services. This almost always ends up with more people dying.

@@missld6856 Those 2 are anything but stupid, but thanks for trying to disparage the Hero’s Here. YOU are just someone behind a keyboard easy to Judge others in the comfort of your…? I dunno Trailer? Prolly. The Guy said He didn’t think about it, flip flops came off and in the Water He went. . It was PURE INSTINCT, someone is in danger of Drowning (HE WAS A TRAINED LIFEGUARD, did you miss that???) so in he went as 2 lives were at stake. SO Who is the stupid one here and Who is the Hero!

​@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep Did you miss the part where they mentioned that these kids were lifeguards? Sure if you're a kid (or a dumb adult), call in the pros, but if you're a level headed adult who knows how to approach the issue... it's time to roll up your sleeves and dive in. All things considered, it's easy to say; it's another thing to do. Time is of the essence and lives are on the line in these situations. Someone's screaming "save me before I die" and you're like "brb, im gonna go contact emergency services"... I think telling you to "grow a pair" would have very little effect...

I believe children are too young for such training. I'll tell you why - it's a major shock even for an adult, the first time they try to revive someone drowned for real and it doesn't work. Children will blame themselves and they absolutely shouldn't put themselves in danger IRL.

do you really have to thank the parents? Like why? You know nothing about their parents. They literally could have terrible parents that raise them. You don't need great parents to know that you should help someone. If you would just say how their parents could be proud of them i wouldn't feel the need to comment. But you leave a comment that implies bad parents make bad kids, thats a whole can of worms that spinned in a different way you would hate to attribute it to. Just say they are heroes, leave their parents out of it.

@@codypriceRU-vidAddednumbers i never said bad parents make bad kids. i said that these parents would be proud of their children and what is wrong with giving some praise to their parents? your right! i don't know their parents, nor do i know if they even have parents. i was merely showing some love to people. wow! if my non-violent, non-disrespectful and non-sarcastic comment bothered you to the point you had to respond, i feel for you that you don't have anything better to do then try to call me out for showing respect and kindness to people. that's all!
