5 명의 뉴저지 청소년이 썰매를 타는 동안 얼음 연못에 빠지지 않도록 두 아이를 구한 후 영웅으로 환호를 받고 있습니다..
그들은 고등학교 신입생 그룹, 타일러 아르마 간, 라이언 데이, 조셉 디트리히, Kieran Foley and Drew Scalice, were getting ready to head home Thursday from sledding at the Beacon Hill Country Club in Middletown, 뉴저지. Then they heard a commotion and realized the two small children were headed straight into a pond at the bottom of a hill.
Kieran, 14, 말했다 CNN’s New Day that the two siblings, 8-year-old Olivia Heid and her little brother, 4-year-old R.J., were sledding down the hill and their dad was yelling at them to jump off the sled.
“They just went so fast right down the hill,” Kieran said, adding because the two were facing backwards, “they really didn’t see it coming.”
The boys, all members of the same Boy Scout troop, quickly went into action to get the two children out. Kieran was into the water first and the boys formed a human chain to get them out quickly.
“I knew it wasn’t that deep, the water, so I just picked them up and brought them to the side of the pond to get them as warm as possible,” Kieran said.
The boys split up to get them out of the water and then consoled them as they waited.
“All I can remember is seeing the kids come down,” Drew said. “When we went to the car they started to cry … but Ryan was trying to calm the kids down, asking them what they wanted for Christmas, all that type of stuff.”
The parents of the rescued children, Richard Heid and Stephanie Irlbeck, sent CNN a video thanking the young men for “their courage and bravery” and the kids gave them a hearty “thank you.”
“I’m grateful that it’s a good, positive impact on everyone’s life and the kids were safe and no one got hurt,” Kieran said.
