Young Boy Risks Everything To Try and Save His Brother | Critical Rescue S1 EP9 | Wonder 

Love SteveClark also the fire fighters

If Tommy would have not attempted to rescue him, knowing he couldn’t, Christopher would have survived. But he made it more difficult for rescuers. They would have found Christopher sooner if they only had one victim. He almost lost his life as well. Everyone knows that’s a big no no. Why risk more lives?

@@justiceLaw0123 - I hear what you're saying...I do. But, as a brother with younger siblings, no way could I just stand by and watch my little brother drown! As much as Tommy knew that his life would be in danger (of going on the ice, to attempt to save his little brother), he knew he couldn't ignore his little brother's cries for help! I would've done to exact same thing for my little brothers!!

Billy Reynolds I understand how you feel and so do I. But if they were looking for just one kid he would have been saved. But because they were looking for two the little one lost his life. Neither one would have lost their life if it was just one.

@@justiceLaw0123 yeah but he was a kid he didn’t know any better. He did what he thought would help

C'est vrai 🙂

Yeah I kept asking myself why didn't the fire department have a diver on hand in a dry suit. So much time was wasted with those exposure suits. I have been in a dry suit with a buoyancy vest on and until I let air out of my buoyancy vest it is impossible to submerge. Where I live the fire department has divers on hand with all cold water rescue operations. The first responders did their best under the circumstances but it is sad they didn't have a trained diver to help.

Yeah it’s a terrible feeling waking up in hospital to learn brother didn’t make it. I know first hand unfortunately. The worst feeling you can imagine

There is! The boy that didn't fall in was the boys bestfriend

They probably did not know cuz this was a remake of a true story

That is strange. Also the description mentions 4 boys. The 4th boy was 10 and fell in with Christopher. Tommy tried to rescue them when he fell in. And the other friend ran for help. (Or at least that's what I read)

@@kashmiraramjee7455 That sounds exactly right from what I've read myself.

GhastlyCretin85 it usually ask permission of the person or family and someone in coma 12 days often do not come out of it as movies show so I would think it would been deliberate decision not be involved or have reminders of this awful thing....If not then it big mistake on film makers side which strange all legal loopholes are dealt with before film is made

Tommy sadly died after he was kidnapped by two people 😢

@@Layth09 really?! 😢

@@BarbiieDee4life Yes it was on a night while they were in a hotel room, the kidnapper came from the window. The reason I know this is because I was his step-brother.

@@Layth09 I can't believe that, after all he went through

Worthy IsTheLamb it was 💔

I agree

Your daughter and her husband are very special people. That's what makes our communities a better place.

That's so neat! I love what you said about the t-shirt and your daughter and husband. I have nothing but admiration and respect for all first responders!

😥😢

Raquel Scott what he dies

O my godness

WHERE ARE THE PARENTS? WHY DIDN'T SHE GO WITH THE BOYS? YOU HAVE TO WATCH THEM.😳😠😭👼

@@pamelaangela2393 he promised he wouldn’t go on the ice but he didn’t listen

@@pamelaangela2393 Omg it’s not like the boys were babies and the pond was never like that they said it was a rare thing that happened

Last December marked 27 years since this happened, which was a day after my first birthday.

yeah schools teach hours of nonessential stuff and don't manage to squeeze in a couple hours of basic survival skills, personal finances, relationships etc.. sad how outdated the system is.. creating modern era slaves

Are you serious? They already knew how dangerous it was. Their mother talked to them about it. Were you not watching? "Just because they fell into an icy pond"... DUH! We're not water breathers!

I'm so happy you are alive and well. Life is so precious. Sorry for your loss💔. Stay blessed 🙏🏽

Kpookie Jo You are so kind... thank you dearly 😊👍🏻🇨🇦

I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you and your brother. I can't imagine the hurt you have felt over the years. I wish you a good future, where you are able to heal your mind and heart. Live the best life you can for yourself and for your brother

So fake.

Lexi Rose ~ YES, you are, aren’t you?

I mean, one died and the other got brain damages ... The equipment failed and wasn't a fit for this operation, it took way too long to rescue them. The outcome is dramatic.

@@o-super2744 I agree I was very upset how the told this story if I was the mom I would of help my self they should have took off the suits and pull the holes from the fire truck to use instead of ropes that broke what the hell and everybody just watching

Unu a trait 😕

What got me is why the hell did they not have a set of goggles and underwater flashlight. This could have been the difference of 8 min

I know that's exactly how I feel but when it's kids involved it breaks my heart ughh 😢💔

Absolutely heart ❤️💓❤️♥️ breakin

I totally agree

I know exactly what you mean. :-(

Oh me too.

The other one got kidnapped sadly

@@0nlytati.2x nooooo🥺🥺🥺🥺

True

Don’t be sad, Christopher must be laughing with joy in Heaven, although he may be gone from this world, but it’s just the beginning spiritually, we will one day see him again :)

@@rorygranados4746 stfu dumbass

This is called Darwin's natural selection

@@africacarey that's doesn't exist

@@africacarey shut up, what an evil thing to say. There are constantly innocent people dying and being killed, there ain’t no natural selection here. A persons destiny is so much more than your messed up and delusional explanation.

Well said ma'am...well said!

I blame the floating suits

Me too,,it was wasting alot of time

Definitely the suits. I warn one and tried to dive under and I couldn't do it. The suit I was wearing was too buoyant. I was snorkeling.

20 minutes

*him

My friend almost died after 6 minutes under water 😶

@@quackity3343 it's crazy... Goes to show that science doesn't have all the answers

@@amazudavidson1800 yeah ikr

Sanito Mike omg😥😥😥😭

Restu 0

Only two fell in because at the beginning 3 boys are fighting with snowballs one fell in then one went for help and the other one tried to save him but fell in himself RIP

@@Kyle9652 no if you read the description there’s another boy listed. Look at more comments they didn’t want their story out there

@@MaryJane-tp3qd oh okay my mistake thx

that's correct. the third family didn't give consent.

I'm so sorry 😢

he definitely knew, his mom told him not to

Chloe...well said. Don't forget to tell your brother and sister that you love them! Unfortunately we live in a crazy world with accidents, wars, and viruses (unfortunately), and we need to take care of those we love, and those that love us!

haha - that's me. My real son played the younger brother. And this is the one and only time I've done acting, so appreciate the compliment! (I am the furthest thing from an actress!)

If you are attempting to rescue someone who has fallen in ice here is how to do so safely. Step 1. Immediately call 911 or have someone else immediately call 911. Then tell the dispatchers about the situation so that way they can call technical rescue teams or other first responders who are trained in ice rescue and get them to respond to the scene. Step 2. Prevent anyone else from entering the icy area even if they are attempting to rescue them as you don’t want anyone else to become additional victims. The only exception to that would be first responders such as firefighters or technical rescue teams as they are properly trained and equipped to handle the situation. Step 3. Reach. If you can do so then attempt to reach the person by reaching out your hands and arms and then grab onto their hands and lift them out of the ice. Step 4. Throw. If the person is farther away but you are able to then throw something at the person that can float or that they can hold on to such as a rope, pole, or a live preserver. Then once the person has grabbed onto the item then pull the person closer to you if they are in the water while still dragging them out and then once they are close to you then lift them out. If they are on ice that hasn’t broken yet then keep pulling them until both you and the victim are off the icy water even those that haven’t broken yet. Step 5. Row. If the person is to far away and you are able to then get a boat and then once you are inside the boat then row to the victim. Once you have gotten to the victim then pull them out of the water while making sure that the boat won’t capsize. Once you have gotten the victim onto the boat then row back to where you were before and then get yourself and the victim completely off of the ice. If you still can’t reach the person and you aren’t properly trained on how to safely get onto the ice then do not enter the area under any circumstances and instead leave the rescue to first responders who are properly trained and equipped to preform the rescue safely. In addition once you get the victim out of the water and ice and if they aren’t breathing or don’t have a pulse then immediately preform cpr on the person by doing 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths. A good way to remember cpr is by singing the song staying alive by The Bee Gees as it is exactly 120 beats per minute which is what is needed for cpr. Continue doing 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until the person regains consciousness and are breathing or until first responders arrive at the scene and take over.

If you do want to help a person who has fallen in ice then remember reach throw and row. After you or someone else has called 911 then if you can do so reach out your hands and arms to the person and then grab them and then lift them out. If you can’t reach them then either find something long that they can hold onto such as a rope or pole and then pull them out or if you can’t find anything long then after attaching a rope to it then throw something that can float such as a life preserver at the person and then after pulling it towards you then lift them out. Finally if you can’t reach them or if they are too far away then get a boat and then after getting inside the boat then row it towards the victim and once you have gotten to the victim then lift or pull them out onto the boat while making sure that the boat won’t capsize. Then after getting the person onto the boat then row the boat back to where you were before and then get yourself and the victim out of not only the body of water but also out of the body of ice. Remember however never put yourself in danger by going directly onto the body of ice as you won’t be able to help the person if you become a victim yourself. Instead if you are unable to get the victim out of the ice safely then leave the rescue to first responders as they are often professionals who are trained and equipped to safely preform an ice rescue.

three boys. Justin Hicks, 10 was the third boy. He survived after spending 12 days in a coma

@@anonymousperson3023 Tommy died 😢

@@kittykat8177 CHRIS died...Tommy survived

I would've kept him on for at least 2 weeks for sure.

But I don't trust doctors fully especially after I've been told things like someone would never see again so their eye needed taken out but I refused and a week later they could see perfectly.

That anxious woman stood there wait for the rescue squad.why didn't she go jump in and save them?

when you watch these type of videos you're not naiive that everyone always lives.......

Serious Organizer I understand, I’m not triggered by it or anything but I know some people are. And it’s pretty sad

Victor R. Because the title is “Young boyS survive...” but no, not both survive it should be “one young boy by survives trying to rescue brother..”

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!! IT SAYS BOYS SURVIVE!! smh!! Soo sad😭😭😭😭😭

Then don’t watch these types of videos

Well said. And I absolutely agree with you

Exactly well said I got so angry reading these . My dad is a fireman and his stories break my heart. The worst thing he ever told me was at the scene of an accident he approached the car and could see the driver from the shoulders down hands on steering wheel. The top of the car was crushed. When he bent down to look in properly he realized the woman was completely decapitated . He drank very heavily for a period of time after that. I think it was ptsd but he pulled himself together and retired years later after many many more horrendous experiences.

YES! 🙌

👏👏👏 "Armchair heroes" - noted

Hello please note 38:17

They did the right thing by just waiting there because if they went on the Ice they could also became a victim so they did the right thing

obviously she was not everyone has family........

Many of us don't. all mine died by the time i was 25 wake up thevworld isn't magical for everyone. Your ignorance is painful to witness byt im glad you haven't hadto live with this level of heartbreak

I wondered that also. Maybe they live on another state. I thought maybe the father had passed away, or they were divorced and he lived further away. Other commentors have stated in the real incident another older friend was actually there, fell in and lived, but wasn't in this story. Maybe some people refused to be mentioned in the program.

Gracie Faith with reborn baby’s thank you very much 🥺❤️

that's what I thought too, kinda early to take him off life support! of course we don't know the whole medical history but nevertheless I wouldn't unplug my dears for at least a few months

“If only them firefighters had found a solution earlier he would be at home happy.” RIP Christopher, but why put the blame on the firefighters?

@@jennasuri4035 the only person to who has any blame is the mother and I’m pretty sure she has never forgiven herself

I fell through ice when about 7 and my dad saved me we were always close but made us closer .He passed away a bit ago and I'll always remember how he watched over me and was my best friend as well as my Dad .i miss Him .
