Utah man, three children rescued after car plunges into river

This video is a great report of what happened.

When I heard this story, I was so amazed at how prepared the rescuers were. They were prepared mentally to not hesitate a second but to go ahead and plunge into an icy river to see how they could help. One guy who shot the car window with his gun because there seemed to be no other way to get inside to the 3 children. The guy who cut the seat belts with his knife said he never leaves the house without 3 things: His gun, a knife, and a pocket flashlight.
Other helpers used coats or blankets they had in their cars to help warm the children. CPR saved 2 of the children! Indeed, that all these rescuers happened upon the scene and acted so quickly and that all were saved was amazing!
