      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?

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!!

      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.

    This is so sad... I feel for the family. It is also sad because my brother and I went through something similar. We were a little older and it happened on a warm day in July... so we didn’t have the cold on our side. We were coming home from work on a motorcycle when a tractor trailer crossed over and took all three lanes in the direction we were going. We were both pronounced dead and placed in body bags. My brother who was driving never came to, however after 15-minutes of lying on the hot pavement... my body bag was opened... it was thought that I had a faint pulse. I like the one boy mentioned had been clinically dead, but something that takes place very rarely... my heart started on its own again. The Corner said our impact was equal to falling 12- stories. Although I broke almost every major bone, and a ton of internal injuries... this story was so touching, because first and for most I like this story... I had lost my brother. This is something that gets easier, however something this young man nor myself will ever forget. What bravery this young boy had to try and rescue his brother! We will never be exactly the same... but how fortunate we are to be alive and thankful to all those who had a part in our wellbeing. I wish you all the very best.👍🏻

    There were actually 3 boys who fell through the ice and were pulled out essentially dead. A fourth boy ran for help. Tommy fell through while trying to rescue the two 7 year olds. One was Tommy's brother, Christopher, and the other was his friend named Justin Hicks. He chose not to be a part of the show. Both of those who survived had memory issues and required extensive rehabilitation to learn how to walk and speak again. They required special education classes, but by all accounts seem to have done well.

    I'm watching this asking myself, "where are the divers"? not one of them has a wet suit that won't float? goggles? not even a snorkel? that's why this boy spent so much time under water. Really terrible situation. If they had been better prepared to face this kind of an event, Christopher would be alive today. I was glad to hear at the end of the episode, that the fire department assembled a diving team for future rescues. A real tragedy. That's why you always obey your parents when they caution you about possible dangers. Disobedience can be a real killer.

    • @carlholland3819
      @carlholland3819 3 роки тому

      wet suits are made from neoprene, they all float. so are DRY SUITS, which is what they were wearing. if you're in freezing water you want to stay DRY not WET. it is unfortunate there was no diver ready, but the first responders dont deserve any blame. it was the boys and their parents who deserve all of the blame.

      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.

    • @jfournerat1274
      @jfournerat1274 8 місяців тому

      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.
