[@jesserau1747]

After unbuckling his seat belt and climbing the embankment, heroic George could tell his toes were cold and he was already breathing heavy. By the time he jumped into the warm car, 2 minutes chilly has passed. As Caleb was passed out, dying in the water, George wrapped several blankets around himself asking for a big cup of hot chocolate. It was really scary. His dear friend was starting to suffer brain damage from being unconsious for so long and at the same time, heroic George had tears rolling down his face, as he thought about how dificult it would be to play video games with such cold hands. He would have told the 2 men that his friends was dying in the car, and would have even led them to the accident site but his teeth was chattering so he instead he asked one of them for a warm jacket. In saving his own skin with such panicked desperation from being uncomfortably cold, Geroge showed himself to be a true friend.

[@sexysilversurfer]

He died and came back to life. Hallelujah.🙏🏻

[@danni1993]

The RN was not correct regarding how many minutes someone can be underwater. It depends on the temperature of the water. There are cases where someone has been under icy water for an hour and survived, and a case where a frozen woman was 'dead' for 3 hours after being rescued from an icy lake...so DON'T give up or assume somebody's dead if you pull them out of extremely cold water. A young person has a better chance than a 50-year-old, of course. We have a saying in the medical field. If they're rescued from an icy body of water: 'they aren't dead until they're WARM and dead. For any other situation, 'they aren't dead until they're COLD and dead'. There are RULES for warming up a cold body, so make sure you have medical advice before you start warming while waiting for an ambulance. Blankets and a warm house, or car, are a good start. Now, these results are on the rare side...but, still don't give up!

Yep. I thought the same thing. But, this is how they are trained . To go after those organs. Not only prematurely but of the 11 connectors in the brain they only check 4 of them before labeling them braindead. Imagine if his parents had taken that advice and been willing to donate. They would have pulled that machine and in fast fashion have him on the table taking those organs with no anesthesia of any kind. A little known fact to most people.

Yea that was a little selfish but I could understand his fear. Still I woulda risked it and helped him.

[@JillianNoelle]

There’s no way he woulda been able to get him out if he went back in unless he got him out while still in the car cause he was still in the car with him cause he was still seat belted in. Either way he didn’t know, I woulda took that chance. I woulda dragged him out with me or still got back in. People don’t usually survive that long under. In 1999 they didn’t know that rescue breathing isn’t required. First you need to get his heart beating. That rattle noise was probably the death rattle.

[@JillianNoelle]

I wouldn’t been able to live with myself had he died. Usually that long without oxygen and no heart beat if he survived, usually means brain dead,

[@NaijaloopVideos]

While seat-belt could save lives in certain situations, this isn't one of those....in fact one could argue that the sit-belt was a death trap in this situation.... it's usually very difficult to unbuckle the seat-belt when ur car is overturned. The mechanism should be redesigned.

Ummm...... The car rolled like 8-10 times. Without the seatbelt they most likely would have been dead before they hit the water.

[@crochetwithapril]

Vix 30 or people could just buy them themselves. Not that it would have mattered. The issue was, hand numbness from the cold made unbuckling difficult, so gripping a small knife and cutting, or trying to work a window breaker would have been equally difficult.

Frank Van Rensburg True! I can recall being 17 and deciding I wanted to go out to a friends house. The roads were covered in snow and ice and no one was out on them that late. My mom was out of town and I was an idiot back then. I slid all over the place and ended up just sliding right off the road. My stepdad had to go pull my car out the next morning when I told him what I’d done. I realized the next day in daylight just how close I was to going into a pond. So glad I’m not that dumb anymore and I’ll never allow my girls to be that stupid if I can help it. Sometimes being a more experienced driver also means knowing when not to drive!

Forget that! One of my kids are ever in this situation and I’m holding on forever! No dr will tell me to give my child’s organs up and pulling the plug unless I’m 110% confident they’d never recover. Just think what if Caleb hadn’t squeezed his mother’s hand! The drs were ready to give up on him. Edit: Although the drs are wonderful so I’m not saying otherwise. I just think they become so accustomed to this kind of thing that they go by the book and each life should be taken as seriously as if it were the drs own children! Also, Gerry and Rodney are heroes as well as the rescue workers and hospital staff! George didn’t do much imo! The dad needed to thank the two men!

George couldn't do a dang thing; he was FREEEEEEEZING!!!

[@phathiscreations8721]

George did a lot. If it wasn't for him the two men wouldn't have known about the accident. Despite his condition of freezing and bruising he went to ask for help. George is a hero too, including Gerry and Rodney of course.

[@curlyfits]

🤔WHO told you that the Dad did NOT THANK the two men? WHO is/are your source(s)?????

[@dorindadouglas2847]

George climbed up a snow covered hill, LITERALLY FREEZING TO DEATH, to get help. Had he not done that, they would both be dead. What a stupid thing to say.

[@faridaaminy9734]

In my eyes the two guys that went to the car and took him out, started CPR are the TRUE HERO!!

[@AH-xq8et]

No matter how cold or the situation is he supposed do whatever he can to try to save his friend coz rescue takes time to arrive

[@mshayashi]

He could have died there, trying to save his friend...Because he was in shock already, when he released himself.

[@DeRock401]

I agree. He should of went up for air and went back in to get his friend

[@asmabegum8674]

This was a miracle, those 2 mens are heroes and angels. Parents must have done something very good in life they got the son back from the death

[@nicoleannhartman3881]

My mom recognuzed this story immediately... my little brother shared a hospital room with caleb after this accident as an infant with rsv ❤

[@loriestrada4757]

Fire and rescue you guys are amazing !! The two men who went in that car are absolute solid heros !! What a story.

[@sashamonte5910]

A miracle indeed!!!!!🙏🙏🙏 Glory be to God!!!!

[@bookapillar]

I'm so glad when I started screaming Chest Compressions Chest Compressions Chest Compressions! The two men did exactly that...In so many ways good on those guys, amazing..real deal Angels and life saving heroes all around. Impressed also by how George (though filled with adrenaline) never lost concern for his poor friend Caleb despite his own incredible plight and I think that is super sweet and amazing to see💪🏽👼🏽

That really affected me because there was a moment in time that I had to decide to turn off my husband's ventilator but i wasnt as lucky as those around Caleb but oh how I wish it would have worked that way in my husband's case. For him to start breathing on his own but he didn't. But that moment Caleb did really got to me. I'm really glad that it worked out for them.

Nika Skytopaz ya RRIGGHHTT YOU ARE JUST SO MUCH STRONGER AND YOU OBVIOUS RESISTANCE TO ICE WATER ... man you are superior

[@sonnikaskytopaz9406]

@@Humgin1234 I've seen lots worse then this before, where people go into fire to safe someone else.drown,get run over,burnt,disfigured ... So while you might sit on the side with your bff George,doing your best by just calling out and staying put.waiting for real heroes to go into the ICE water to save YOUR friend,some people wouldn't care getting hurt ,giving your life ,and not worry about their own saftey, to make sure they try and save someone they love. Different strokes for different folks just saying I haven't been in a situation where a life was hanging by a thread,and I needed to decide to help or watch I'm 100% sure if its family close friend or an animal I wont think twice That's why there are heroes and losers You and I make really good examples of that 😘 Just joking

[@noahhess4955]

Nika Skytopaz being that cold and numb already, looking for help was probably the best thing. Good chance he would’ve gone into shock (which he did in a heated car later anyway) passed out and died before doing anything to help. Plus he would’ve had to cut the seatbelt off and drag him out (which two relatively warm, grown men struggled to do) dude was barley hanging on, that’s an impossible situation to pass judgment on, especially considering how young he was.

[@noahhess4955]

Humgin1234 yeah we’ve got a couple armchair hero’s in the comments

[@sonnikaskytopaz9406]

Geeeese okay people, take it easy🤭, Maybe I shouldn't talk if I haven't experienced it myself, but even though I'm an armchair hero,I still 100% know I would of tried atleast. he did find help, so that is the most important thing i guess

I can't believe the doctors at first, told the parents they should think about donating their son's organs 😱?! Thank God for his mother, and when her son squeezed her hand...it was way too soon to even think about giving up!

[@kimberlyalexander9890]

The whole time i was thinking yooooo he’s not gonna help his friend. Not even TRY 🥴🥴🥴🥴

[@BlookyBot101]

Well I mean, the narrator explained that if George hadn't escaped at that moment he would've passed out, meaning neither George or Caleb could've escaped. George needed to escape in order to keep himself alive to get help.

[@sexysilversurfer]

That’s life, survival of the fittest. If he went back there would be two dead boys.

I dont understand how you can be under water for 15-20 minutes and still be alive let alone the water being freezing

[@Sssssssslf]

Right?! A complete impossibility! There's something not right with this story ..it's obviously been _highly_ exaggerated and dramatised because there is absolutely no way

[@boxingfan5555]

yeah i know, I mean im no doctor but a person cant be under water for more than 3 or 4 minutes before dying, this story doesnt make any sense to me

[@Anna-iz1tt]

@@boxingfan5555 Not always true. People have survived with brain function intact after being submerged in ICY COLD water for even longer than 20 minutes. It is the very cold water that saves them.. quote..."Cold water slows the heartbeat, stops the breathing and redistributes the blood flow toward the organs that need most of the blood and oxygen-the heart, lungs and brain. This is called “the diving response.” Cold reduces the brain's need for oxygen and permits it to survive longer during an airless period." The human body will do everything it can to survive even this seemingly impossible type of circumstance. That being said, without the quick and decisive actions of those who perform CPR without giving up and the medical help, warming the body etc... once they are pulled from the cold water, they would not survive.

@@boxingfan5555 When the body reach a very cold temperature, the brain can survive much longer. It has to be specific conditions and that guy was really lucky, but it's possible yes
