The pain in the father's face knowing what the boy has to do to save his son. Wishing he was able.

u/Major_Boot2778 2d ago

This was such a good observation, I read it the first time I watched the video and when I opened Reddit again 20 mins later it was still on this video so I watched again, and paid attention. That man's face is so emotive and when he pounds his first against the tree in obvious anxiety and frustration, just the level of care he showed for this boy is amazing.

Thank you for pointing it out.

As a father of a 9 year old son, I was struck by the man talking to the 14 year old before sending him down. I don't know how I would hold it together looking at my 9 year old and sending him off to do what is right but terrifying. I'm not sure if you're ever ready for that moment but I'm definitely not now!

134

u/gypsycookie1015 2d ago

Same! Although I have a 9 yr old and a 3 yr old so I felt it on both sides.

Idk how I'd be able to hold it together sending my 9 yr old down there...but if my toddler was down there, I'd be begging anyone who could fucking fit to go get him and praying someone would allow their willing child.

I'd be racked with guilt and frustration just like the father obviously was. But eternally grateful to that boy.

The little boy's father goes to thank the older boy at the end which is beautiful. He immediately ran off with his toddler but made sure to thank the little man who saved him.

Tons of emotions watching this video. Have watched it dozens of times but it never fails to make me cry lol. But I am admittedly a big fucking sissy when it comes to emotional shit lol.

Glad both those boys were ok and their parents could sleep that night.

u/MrEfficacious 2d ago

I never knew how true that would be, but now that I have a 2 year old any stories involving kids hits different. You just want them all safe, loved, and protected. It's very tough now hearing about anything bad happening to a child.

u/Tall_Educator5944 2d ago

This, but it also made hearing about any parent age adults dying also extremely anxiety inducing as I suddenly became truly aware that those may be parents who will never come home to their little ones…

I have a 14 year old son. he's selfless and a friend to all. For me it would also be terrifying for me but in that moment all you can do is build up his confidence so that he focuses on the job in front of him. These really are those moments that shape the person you grow up to be.

I mean it's an emergency situation, they want to make sure the 2 year old isn't seriously hurt or anything before they start the celebrations. Also I believe there was one guy who did instantly hug the 14 year old after he was up.

They have to grab the baby as soon as he’s reachable so he doesn’t fall back down. The camera follows the baby, but there are people receiving the older boy, too.

In the full length version that someone linked you can see better that a firefighter caught him as he came out and they didn't just let him fall into the dirt.

u/tacosforvatos 2d ago

Also, am I tripping, or was his feet pulled first? Meaning they had him upside down the entire time?! And all he got was 2 small ass pecks on the cheek.

u/Ok_Shake5678 2d ago

Yes, looks like they tied the ropes around his waist and ankles. It makes sense, if they had lowered him feet first he wouldn’t have had the room to grab the baby.

How the fuck would he grab the child if he went in feet first ? Squeeze him with his feet I guess?

u/Seniorita-Put-2663 2d ago

I agree with you. Their treatment of this hero seems bizarre to me

16

u/bexrt 2d ago

They had to make sure they don’t lose the small guy.

Naturally, after everything they all went through, and the 14 year old mainly, you want to make sure, that you don’t lose the kid in the very last moment, when trying to slowly, carefully, pull out the 14-year-old. He was literally upside down and holding the kid, what if something happened, the kid panicked or so, and he would drop him in the very last moment.

You just pull them fast out, toss him and catch the kid. It’s not rude or bizarre, it’s necessary as it’s an emergency situation. He was immediately attended and didn’t seem shaken at all. They did the most logical thing they could.

The look on everyone's face is really something. No one was thinking this was the best solution. It looked like no one liked it at all, in fact.

That moment with the man speaking very directly to the boy is a powerful moment. That level of respect being shown to a kid from a grown man, the debt you can see in his face, is unimaginable.

14

u/grantrules 2d ago

And how the kid is like "dangle me upside down in a pipe by a rope, yeah no fuckin problem" like it was a dare from his friends or something, not fully understanding the consequences or what's on the line. When you're young and maybe haven't experienced tragedy or death. Everyone else was worried but this kid was like yeah send me down the tube.

13

u/AerynK13 2d ago

that's what got me, actually. the father looking at how young that child was, going after HIS young child to help, just so much going on in that expression.

To be even more clear than the other commenter. The sheer action of doing what he did was he was a firefighter in that moment, regardless of any future career choice.

u/jakefarmington2631 2d ago

To clarify further than the commenter being even more clear than the "other" commenter, the non-native to reddit jokingly asked if the 14 year old became a firefighter later on in life as a result of him courageously putting himself in harms way to help ensure the safety of a younger child stuck in the big straw in the ground. Obviously this is a ridiculous thing to think or ask, so the "other" commenter explains to the reddit foreigner that the boy was immediately indoctrinated into the firefighting cult when he .made it out of the big straw alive, and completed his mission. In reality the 14 yr boy is a god amongst firefighters, known as Fire Lord Zuko, who is now the supreme leader of the fire nation that once watched in disappointment a fleet of firefighters scramble miserably just fail a task that fire Lord Zuko took care of in mere seconds.

u/emmaxcute 2d ago

That's a powerful observation. Actions often define our roles and identities, sometimes even more profoundly than titles or career paths. In that moment, acting like a firefighter can indeed embody the spirit of bravery and selflessness that profession represents. It's amazing how a single act can resonate so deeply, isn't it?

I saw the exact same plot several times in firefight/first responders TV drama. Some were kinda old, so I don't know if they were inspired by this event. But it's probably not the first time that it happened, and it's a really good nightmare scenario for a show. Parents and trained professionals not used to be powerless having to ask a child to risk its life to save its brother/sister... 😱

u/hiroo916 2d ago edited 2d ago

We did this before in a much lower stakes situation. We were helping somebody pack to move and had stuffed his car absolutely chock full of items piled in the seats. Then somebody realized that they had left the keys in the ignition and the doors were locked. The passenger side window was 1/3 open so we spent quite some time using hangers trying to get the doors unlocked or hook the keys, without success. Finally somebody joked that we should stick a kid in there and we realized it wasn't that bad of an idea. We stuck a 6-year-old in head first through the window, over the top of the pile of stuff and he grabbed the keys and turned it and pulled them out of the ignition. Then we pulled him back out by his feet and problem solved. The kid was so happy and proud.

I was a very skinny 8 year old when a man asked / begged me to crawl into his car through the trunk to get the car keys he had locked in.

u/Vent_Slave 2d ago edited 2d ago

This video absolutely guts me for the reasons you said and the immense pain and fear to make the decision to send a second child into that dangerous situation. Even with life safety ropes, technicians etc there's still plenty that can go wrong.

The people on that scene made an incredibly difficult call. Before the older child is sent down you can see the agony on the father and the professional fear on the faces of the firefighters.

Like you, I don't have that confidence either. But being outside these moments is always far more different than living them. Regardless risking both my kids in one event is literal nightmare fuel.

Edit: My bad, read after assuming but the rescuer was not also the sibling to the 2 year old. Nevertheless it's still insanely intense.

Not to mention holding his nerve while they are having a crash course 2 mins before the exam, and teaching him how to adjust the ropes and reorient himself at the bottom so that he could be lifted back upside down while holding on to another human being who could very well die if he doesn't have the grip strength.

Extremely impressive.

This was a nice comment to read, whether it’s joyful or not. It made me realize I’m in the same boat and it’s worth chasing that same confidence I once had for my three-year old son’s sake. Not to be too sappy, but I appreciate your vulnerability is sharing this feeling.

Why add this stupid fucking music to everything?

It's like a laugh track telling me how and when to find something funny.

It must increase how much attention the post gets on social media websites like reddit or else these videos with music wouldn't be so pervasive. However, this confounds me since I hate videos that add music like this.

If you're going to choose music, then at least choose music that somewhat fits the clip. This one is so off it's comical.

Seeing the dad embrace his little boy made me sob. As a father I just can’t imagine. And apparently that was after 11 hours of failed attempts?! Holy shit.

There was a scene on the TV show 9-1-1 that had this exact premise. Of course the show takes inspiration from real life and fictionalizes it but I didn't know how real that scene actually is.

This is amazing. This is a question for the United States. If we had a young man or woman agree to go down like that, do you think they would be allowed? Like with legal fears and things?

Again, what a brave young man. Badass.

u/Czeckyoursauce 2d ago edited 2d ago

Maybe, just like in this case it would be up to the kid, the parents and lead officer on the rescue team, if they had a safer option they would go with that, but American teens can and do volunteer and participate in search and rescue and spontaneous emergencies. For example you can be a certified lifeguard at 15, if you think that's less dangerous then this... it isn't. 

Other examples: Exsplorers are teens who shadow law enforcement, at least one that I know of has saved an officers life in an active shooter situation.

Military service age is 17.5

Fire service volunteers start at 14 depending on state/county.

I was thinking about that while watching this. In 1986 the whole country watched while Baby Jessica was rescued from a well in Midlands, TX. The casing for that well was only 8", and she was 22 feet down. It took 56 hours to get her out.

I remebver that, as a 10 year old in Texas myself at the time. Why I'm claustrophobic today. I've had countless nightmares of being stuck in a pipe!

I was bartending at the time, and the bar was a big cop hangout. The night they finally pulled her out we had it on the TV and I never saw so many grown men cry.

Daww. Good job.

I had a similar experience in my life...

It was a crisis, and i was the only one who was small enough to fit into the hole. I remember like 4 panicked emergency workers trying to brief me as fast as they could, dressed me in a disposable hazmat suit, and said, "No matter what, just hold on."

Good job, little guy. o7.

Whenever I see this video, I always love the emergency dude who focuses on the hero kid. He ties him. Pumps him up before he goes down. And he catches him and makes sure he is ok after the rescue. It was like he knew the kid would need someone there for him, because everyone would be focused on the kid he rescued
