‘A whole lot of praying’: A harrowing 10-hour rescue in Avery County

[@patriotblonde5327]

David was such a great man. He lived his life in service to others and loved God with all his heart. I cannot imagine what our rescuers are going through and will be dealing with the rest of their lives. Thank you all for everything

[@Mo-mr8vv]

So glad to know he knew God ❤

[@kimt1054]

His passing is tragic, but at least he knew GOD and now gets to spend all eternity in Heaven.

[@ElijahDavis41]

People who love GOD don't die like that

[@baldwinleatherworks]

These rescuers a true heroes. Thank God for you amazing people. ❤

[@Gmato13]

My heart goes out to the rescuers-what they do and see with each and every rescue and recovery. My heartfelt thanks to all of them. I hope they can take a moment to breathe and know they are doing God’s work and are heroes! ♥️♥️♥️

[@annhester3983]

What a rescue hero!!. You are every county's hero. Thank you for all you do. I pray you will heal from all the emotional trauma you had to encounter and see. But your efforts to rescue is a blessing that cannot be measured. Thank you and Bless you all.

[@helenmorelli1101]

Prayers for all who worked so hard to find him.

[@billlarrabee9436]

I am a past firefighter and a rescue tech. It is not easy and in order to keep going you have to take a deep breath, thank God, and go right back at it.

[@rickhenry9003]

This is a true hero. God love and bless him

[@heartsoulstrengthtraining]

These men are TRUE Americans and we are so grateful to have you! 🇺🇸

[@zoebear1992]

Praying for you guys 🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢

[@crxess]

Thank you, and Bless their courage in such dangerous conditions.

[@gardens4good]

Wow! These people are good people, and brave. I am so sorry the strong, good person died. You helped him so much, though. Know we care about you and want you to do more good work. Thank you for sharing this story.

[@alohamom2380]

We need more stories of humanitarian efforts like this one. Thank you!😇

[@shabbykat273]

May he R.I.P. These rescuers are so courageous and dedicated.❤

[@lindachandler2293]

Thank you.

[@dorothybledsoe3953]

Praying for him and the man’s family as well. God Bless you sir

[@patriotblonde5327]

I've seen comments where a few may be confused when this happened due to when this was posted ..This happened Friday when Helene was doing her worst. He got his family out and as he was running out behind them, when he reached the deck, the house just collapsed and came down around him, he got stuck under debris at the bottom of the hill..I have heard at his funeral one of our amazing rescuers said he told them to stop trying to get him out because he knew he was close to the end and would be "headed home" very shortly..David was truly a wonderful person

[@ladyd8339]

Compare these brave people to the young thugs terrorizing people in the cities! Respect for life and brotherhood! God bless these rescuers! God bless NC!

[@sondraunderwood6204]

David Carver was a man to be admired. He suffered many losses himself and would have been out rescuing people with you guys. I’m sure he is reunited with the son and sister he lost many years ago. And he was a great roofer…Carver Roofing his family’s business. R.I.P.🙏💕

[@iralien2]

God Bless the gentleman who passed🪽🙏. Prayers for the first responders🙏❤️. What determination , compassion and never stop attitude. Thank you all and God will truly bless each of you.🙏

[@rugrat1235]

Helene stuck here in WNC on September 27th - NOT "almost 2 weeks ago today". Good grief yall, it's bad enough without ya getting the time frame wrong. Date of this video is 22 DAYS AFTER HELENE devastated Western NC😢 (If part of this video is "old" you should say so.) WBTV I falling right in line with legacy media in under reporting what's STILL GOING ON IP HERE. Shame on you!

[@pirategirl58]

3 weeks. It's been 3 weeks.

[@mariposavioleta9007]

You're right yesterday was exactly 3 weeks since Sept 27th when it hit NC.

[@anglophils645]

(I think this aired on TV, a week ago, just made it to KZbin.)

[@dbolognani]

Prayers and blessings to all that have helped and are still helping those affected by the hurricanes and to all the many, many people that have been utterly devastated by these storms. My heart goes out to everyone. 😢💔🙏🏻❤️

[@mindysuarez1699]

God bless him and his family and the rescuers

[@mpat100]

Blessings for the mans soul and his rescuers.

[@josephinewhite6224]

What a courageous man. May God heal his mind and heart and give him peace. ❤

[@bobhemphut4011]

Praying for those involved.

[@Jeff-zf6uy]

Wow! It has been this long since the hurricane and their just now getting to people. Devistating. Just Devastating. That poor man buried under there that long and how devastating it is for the ones getting them out having to deal with that face to face everyday.

[@RUsure]

God bless the rescuers

[@marymacqueen8925]

Bless you. God was with you all

[@mourningdove7658]

May All be delivered with prayers of Comfort and Blessings.

[@Aclark-s8b]

At least he knows that he was loved and worthy of being saved.

[@joyceobeys6818]

Praise YaH for those who are loving others as themselves. ❤❤❤

I’m looking for a BETH WILSON from Uniontown,Ohio❤lives in N.C.

[@peapicker]

Why did the interview cut out when he talked of his religious credentials? Why can't you tell the truth about the most important bit of the story after the tragedy? Prayers for the family.

[@CeciliaVillalobos-ls6ie]

This is our America, it's time to turn the page and Unite, our love ones, Communities, our children, the future of so much riding on our comeback. We need each other now it's Country over PArty. What we need is compassion, and we need Those famous players to help make it happen, but not on the get rich but to keep country floating enough to come back. Pice gouging must be capped, as the level of respect of all is put ahead

[@heartsoulstrengthtraining]

ABSOLUTELY AGREE! Let’s take our country back and stand for what we believe in. 🇺🇸

[@phyllisharrell174]

TURN the page?? I don't think you want to say that for people still PRAYING they will find their family members that are missing!

[@itsnotthesamething]

My prayers are with all these victims. I wish I could do more. I've donated what I can afford, but I plan to donate more each month until some semblance of normalcy comes back to them. I encourage everyone to do the same. If you can't do but $5 a month, that adds up. Please donate and help these folks. Their lives are forever changed. Plus, make a plan for if a catastrophe hits your area, so you might be more prepared to handle it and help your neighbors.

[@joyceobeys6818]

Several thousands died? Why they saying just a few hundred have died ?

[@lamarw7757]

All that praying, and nobody listening.

[@toscatattertail9813]

The people doing these rescues need to be able to gather together and process the mental and emotional struggles that are now facing. This whole situation is horrendous but My question is why isn't the state national guard being mobilized to help get these folks get dug out and some sort of survival kitchen, that can serve the whole community. They may have to step back to the large outdoor cooking hearths and bonfires but it's a step forward.

[@ep2963]

I thought when you’re in the National Guard you learn how to build temporary bridges. What about giving the homeless the housing that Katrina victims had.

[@ep2963]

Oh wait immigrants get all the good hotels, medical, and food stamps.

[@georgehorkan7205]

We try our best ...... but it is not up to us. For whatever reason God needed him more than us. I do not make light of that. God go with us all.

[@joyceobeys6818]

Helene? Or a dam ?

[@leigh3069]

Unfortunately people die, right after you see them So sorry for yalls losses.

[@rfiskillingussoftly6568]

Propaganda at it's worst!

[@Dadwithallthecool]

It’s not a “ rescue “ if you are doing a “ recovery”. Search and Rescue , Weston County, Wyoming

[@Dpowell28]

He wasn't dead went they rescued him....

[@Dadwithallthecool]

@@Dpowell28 …he succumbed to his injuries . Being on “rescues “ and having to carry out bodies( of people I know ) sucks. We do our best but better intel, better equipment and better training is sorely lacking.

[@Dpowell28]

@Dadwithallthecool he died later, it started as a rescue, so rescue is the correct term. A recovery would be, obviously recovering a corpse.

[@Dadwithallthecool]

@@Dpowell28 …duh

[@jefflilyea4669]

Praying does nothing, there is no God

OH this title needs to be addressed. Does praying really help? Talking out loud to imaginary beings... It's quite tiresome hearing intelligent folks carry on this way. 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 While I agree with good morals and ethics, I do not need the fear of hell or the promise of an afterlife to choose right.

[@mpat100]

Im tired of hearing people like you commenting like this.

[@wintergarden7539]

I agree with you. However, so many feel the need to believe in a "higher power." I think because otherwise, they would feel alone and desperate. The "afterlife" is very important to them, too. They don't want to think they go nowhere after this life.

[@melanievando2040]

Yes. Science has proved it.

[@gailcarey3597]

Yes. It does. Answers are happening every moment. When you buy a new car you see that model everywhere. Once you have received an answer they become more and more unmistakable. Ask the Lord for evidence.

[@melanievando2040]

@@wintergarden7539 Believe what you want but I've seen evidence of something more than once. There might be nothing BUT I would rather stack the deck incase there is. Err on the side of caution.
