Passers-by rescue children from icy Utah river

SALT LAKE CITY — Former police officer Chris Willden didn't hesitate when he realized children were trapped in an upside down car in an icy Utah river. He pulled his handgun, pushed it up against the submerged windows and shot out the glass.

Then he reached inside.

Hooray!

A similar accident would have had difficulty over here; no guns!
As if that's not enough, somebody would play the "Health & Safety" card so the kids might not have lived.

So A "Well Done" to him and the other assistant rescuers.

Not to be a total downer, but...

Did the other little girl survive?

Just a little note of trivia.

Auto glass is hard to break underwater. One small tool everyone should care in their car and keep up with is a small press to set and press to release punch that is normally used to put a dimple in metal to drill holes. It will shatter safety glass usually with one impact.

Tools like that are/were used over here by those seeking illegal entry to the car.
