I once knew two young German brothers, my father dated their mother for a time, some years after they split up the older brother of the two was crossing the road when a car came down on them unexpectedly, the older brother froze, then the younger pushed him out of the way and was hit by the car instead. He died.
A terrible shame, but one very brave kid, a hero in my eyes, just like this child. God bless him and may he rest in peace with his mother.

A similar thing happened to a couple of brothers in my old neighborhood. Luckly neither one was killed but it goes to show how selflessly heroic some people can be when the situation calls for it.

Wow, what a story.

A sad, but uplifting story. There have been plenty of people who have risen to the challenges sent by the flood, both great and small actions.

I just hope no more have to loose their life in this flood.
