I respect his priorities. Dropping the report and going to help is what you should do. Good man and good instinct.
any human who wouldn't do that is wasting our oxygen.
@@Dredster747 most wouldnt. there is a high chance you wouldnt.
Thank goodness for good men. We need ya'll.
@@Dredster747 what if you cant swim and can only shout that someone is trouble?
Even if he didn’t solely do it, he could have stood there like most useless people would. Instead he jumped in and did whatever he could. Still a hero. If I was that boys mom, anyone helping my son by getting in the water would be a hero to me.
The fact the kid was already saved and he didn't put 1 hand on the kid just doesn't matter does it?
@@bluethunder5694 who hurt you today
@@genericwhitefemale8934 you are a little toothy so that hurt a little.
@@bluethunder5694 like how your dad left...didnt matter too
@@xxDxxism like when your mum was handing out the clap hurt a little
Bless his heart and everyone else's who helped save this baby.
TRUE HERO
@Susan Brewer my daughter is 22 and we still call her my baby. She is the youngest of 3
@Susan Brewer when you get older everyone is a baby :D
Adolescent*
child
A parent of that child would appreciate all who ran in to help them save their kid. He was flying down that beach.
Agreed
Yea. Maybe next time he'll be more responsible and keep an eye on his kid. He probably won't tho.
What parents? 👀
I was under the impression that he solely saved the boy.😁😁😁 Could have changed the caption to "REPORTER helped save a boy from drowning during broadcast!" Nonetheless, kudos to him and to the others who saved the boy😍❣️❤LOVE LOVE LOVE❤❣️❣️❣️
Yep
Reminds me of the cheerleader who grabbed the stuck basketball back in March, they ignored the other cheerleader that lifter her up over his head
0:50 he literally gave credit where credit was due .. so there's that 🤜💥🤛
Scientific fact: Each rescuer fractionally dilutes your hero factor. This is like seeing seeing the people with quarter marathon stickers on their car.
really? some folks have to complain- nitpick and deconstruct or they just aint happy.
The reporter did good
The moment he started to speak I said “Of course he’s Australian.” Those people have balls of steel and hearts of diamond. Bless him and all of the people who helped 😊💖 I hope the little guy is ok!
Please keep negativity out of the comment section below. Thanks :)
@Biden is a child predator grow up and stay out of my comments section.
So true, an American would never do that, we're way top selfish sadly
They are not a strong people as we have seen lately.
@@HurricanePatrick speak for yourself
They have croc for breakfast 🍳
'HELPED' save. Bless him, no one missing the empathetic gene here, just pure HUMAN.
Finally a reporter isn't just reporting but stepping in when someone needs help. Congrates to this reporter. need more like him and less like the rest.
Finally, taking action instead of just reporting it!
What the hell does this even mean? His job is to report on the news. Angry people who want to drag others down can always be counted on for being obnoxiously toxic. You're no exception.
It's like showing up to 9/11 on 9/12. It doesn't have quite the same punch.
The comment I was looking for
He didn't have to do what he did. You: Can't Understand Normal Thinking.
not even mad about the popped collar. He earned that !!
Most definitely
He gave his best effort, didn't fail to act, he may not have been the one to bring this boy back, but he's still a hero. He didn't even flinch, he simply rushed to save. Was good to see so many do that. Thank you.
give me a break, he didn't risk his life
He's an Aussie, of course he jumped into the rescue! ✌️❤️
This man isn’t even a police officer, he and those others risking their lives for a child. That’s what heroes do!
Well, if they stood around and waited for back up to arrive, it might have been different.
Old advice: If you need help yell "FIRE" and call for firefighters. People will respond more quickly. Yell "POLICE HELP" and people will leave or just stand around. Since police always follow firefighters, you're fine.
Those elementary kids would've been better off if they'd called "FIRE". Firefighters always run toward the danger to save someone else.
If he was a Uvalde police officer he would have waited there and threatened to arrest the boy's parents for getting worked up
He's also have quite some build. Dude must be great in some sport
A cop would've let the kid die
@@hafirenggayuda possibly but some are naturally built bulkier
A real show of character for this guy...great job, glad him and everyone are ok
Glad he and others jumped into action.
While recording and reporting events can be equally important, not enough people take action.
As for the debate on his “hero” status…..
Whether he singlehanded saved the kid himself, or just got close enough to high five another guy that did, he still jumped into action. That’s a good thing.
Taking action is more important than reporting and recording. Exhibit A…. The video we just watched.
Exactly, he ran in the sea at night, strong current etc, he did risk his life to save a stranger, the man is of course a hero for literally sprinting TO danger. He didn't write the misleading caption on the video, some fool at CBS did, to get clicks
A great man along with the rest that stepped up
Heroes aren't necessarily the only one to help, they're a hero for being there to help.
Kudos to that weatherman! What a presence of mind! What a heroic act! God bless him!!! Thank you, Mr. Weatherman!
My two sisters and myself were playing near the edge of the sand. I’m the middle sister. A rogue wave came up and pulled us into the ocean. I was so young I’m not sure if we were on Oahu . It might have been. Men jumped in and got us three out alive. ❤️❤️❤️greatness springs from adversity. So kind and heroic. Amazing 💎
Why is the boy on the beach at night and in the water? Good job to ALL of those people who jumped in. This could've ended badly with the strong current. 🙏🏽
That's what parents do these days...
Yes, the current could have easily swept him out to sea. I also thought night swimming was discouraged due to sharks or maybe it's dawn. In any case glad he was saved.
@@teetee19768 dawn and dusk
It's Australia, he was out wrestling crocs the next day.
My thoughts exactly.
@Wildlife Warrior hate things of holiness? Mad at God, hence your disbelief? God stills LOVES YOU and Jesus died that you might have life more abundantly.
Reporter HELP'S save child from drowning! Either way they all did a very heroic thing!
I think the POINT is the child is alive. Did you miss that part?
@@FromtheKing1 No I didn't miss that part, I also didn't miss the headline claiming something different to what actually happened but like I said, they still did a great deed and the only part that matters is that the child is ok!
Since we're correcting people, "helps" doesn't need an apostrophe.
All heros gives me hope for humanity so many good people still around makes me very proud
That is the most Australian thing to do. ❤️ Australia.
EXACTLY what I came here to say. 😂
Eh?
Australians are born swimmers. From the womb to the pool.
The most Australian thing to do is give up your freedom because the government told you to.
@@jamiecoyne1494Is that why the kid was drowning?
So, the reporter ran out there behind others to help them save the young man. Got it! Good on him and the others who helped.
You can't assume the others are strong or stronger swimmers or trained in first aid. So it's good he ran over anyway.
lol I just made a similar comment but worried I was alone.
Good man, you saved his life, hero!!
He helped but he wasn’t alone.
Thank You from all parents!!!!
I remember when I was 13 and I was in a well know lake and I didn’t know how to swim but a kid about 5 feet away from me started panicking and yelling for help since he was in a spot deeper than where he could stand. I made my way to him knowing i was already about to be in a spot where I couldn’t stand either but I moved over to him on my tippy toes water to my chin with my arms extended brought him towards me. His parents were thanking me. I was just glad I was able to grab him without me being in the same situation. Teach your kids how to swim folks! It may literally save their lives one day.
Good job Juan :)
As they say in Australia... "Good On Ya"
That's it! Set the example for all those who think video and live streaming to be of greater importance than helping others in distress. Kudos!
Well said!
So he saves the boy and is also able to still talk on the mic through his thought. I give him props
Reporter saves and reporter helps save is a major difference.
Yeah that reporter is still a badass for trying to help, but CBS news of course goes with the clickbait capitalism raising people's expectations of what happened
A child was saved! Well done!
What a hero 🦸♂️🙏🏽😇
Thank goodness all those people were there and willing to help.
❤
And this is what we've been saying for years. Don't just report on what you see. Help people.
Amen. 2. That
Absolutely
We have been asking for reporters to help people for years?
actions speak louder than words. salute to this reporter and everyone else who help as well. Good people.
The chances of him jumping in to save the boy are pretty low when you already see others handling it. The fact that he didn't just stand there thinking, "oh, they'll take care of it," is what makes him a hero.
That weatherman is a good guy, I can just tell.
5'0 years ago I was that child! Thank you rescuers!
how people SHOULD BE... SOOOO encouraging there are still real people out there!
I love how proud the reporter is of his colleague
What an incredible story. Bless this man 🙌
Rock solid help. Doing the need without anything in return. Genuine heroics by all.
Hope the young boy is healthy and well. You are a Survivor!
Honestly, that's such a typical Aussie thing to do. Love it!
The casual bravery of the Aussies 😊❤💕
I didn't even turn on the sound & knew he was Australian...he has that semi-baked no eyebrow thing happening.
This Guy 🤣🤣🤣
Not tryna be negative, but I wouldn't say bravery is one of the Aussies strong suites...though it definitely is one of the strong suits of this man
Now that’s a selfless, good, brave human right there. We need more stories like this to go viral. Inspiring people worldwide. Many blessings from Texas 💛
WOW! I love how you reporters, especially the ones in the field, you are fearless! Thank you for all your hard work 🌺❤️🌷🙋♀️.
What a wonderful human being thank you for that!
Witnesses: I bet you no one can save the kid.
Reporter: Hold my microphone
He and all of the others who selflessly ran in and saved this boy are what heroes look like. Thanks for your life saving actions.
RIGHT PLACE RIGHT REPORTER..HES BUILT DIFFERENT..GOOD JOB LITERALLY 💪 👌 👏 👍 🙌 😎
Ill never forget the man who saved my life when i was drowning in the beach water…. He was a big and hairy man… i felt sooooo grateful 🥲 and indebted to him!!!!
FINALLY! Someone who understands that action is more important then staying in front of a camera. Even if he wasn't the one who found the boy, he still did something. The other rescuers also deserve praise! They could be grabbed just like the kid they rescued.
if hes a father, he must be a great dad
I knew it couldn't have POSSIBLY been a US reporter...God Bless Aussie!
HEROES ALL OF THEM. WELL DONE TO ALL WHO SAVED THE BOY. YOU ALL HAVE STORIES TO TELL FROM HERE TILL ETERNITY.
Why the screaming?
@@ZombieMiezz what screaming ?
@@Repofireland THIS SCREAMING
@@Repofireland Trying to help you here. All caps is interpreted as screaming. Just saying.
Awesome job!! Great example of a wonderful human being. He didn't give one thought to his own safety to help that child. That is a truly selfless hero.
Fabulous! God bless all those people for saving that boy. You have a hero on your show! 🙏🕊️💙🇦🇺
god
is a
hoax
W for weatherman and for the people who actually helped.
so delighted to see a man act like a real man instead of just standing there and saying 'film at 11pm' must be an Aussie thing!
No it's called being a decent person thing, they are all over the world.
What an absolute asset to this news station this reporter is an angel we'll take him over here in Sarasota Florida Way to go❤❤❤❤
That is a true hero!!!❤️
These sorts of things only happen in Australia. Something special about those people.
My old boss one time said that she likes to take a book to the beach so she can look like she’s really into it if someone happens to be in trouble in the water because she doesn’t want to be bothered. So glad there are still good people in this world like all of those rescuers (and not like my old boss).
People like that is why we have tragedies all the time.
did you advise her to get mental treatment?
Wow just wow
I think she could be arrested for that actually...
Wow that’s evil jeez
God bless that reporter, a real hero!
That story made me smile 😃
Usually they just watch. God bless this man.
Hero, it’s official!
The Kind Of Hero We All Need
Finally! A news reader that did something that actually mattered.
Seems like you don't like hearing things that make you uncomfortable. Is that what this is about?
Do you really think reporters just READ? I'm guessing you're still commandeering that garbage truck.
@@FromtheKing1 Proudly! I don’t mind being right.
@@petegregory517 , you not "right". There's a lot more to journalism (look it up) than just "reading" the news. Now, don't you have lids to close on those bins or do you let rain accumulate (look it up) in them for your customers (look it up)?
@@FromtheKing1 Journalism went out with Huntley/Brinkley and Cronkite. They go nowhere, sit in the A/C on their fat @$$e$, pull it off computers from parent corporations, that's why it's called Parrot Journalism, same 💩 just different minorities reading it.
That’s Aussies for you - they’re fantastic people
🇬🇧
I love Aussies ❤️
That was a beautiful thing, he did, saving that child, and another great thing about this guy, you can tell he was wrapped up in saving that child, not worrying about how he looked for the camera,, he's a blessing a wonderful guy in my book, God Bless you Sir,, ❤
He was just running towards the surf! People are already in the water.
*Nothing is a big deal in Incredible Australia. Awesome country with awesome people.* ❤️ 🇭🇲
Great job!!Great outcome! ❤
Just another day on the job! Thank you for helping save that child.
Actually someone else saved him...not the reporter
Exactly. Tried to save a boy would be more accurate.
Dramatically great! Well done to the reporter! Thank goodness he was near the child to save him!
People should take it very seriously when the ocean is ruff, so powerful!
He was willing to get involved and make a positive difference in that boy’s life! Few reporters would have done so. Well done!!
Australians are made of sterner stuff.
Well done! Glad the child is okay. ❤️
Great that he was on the ball and did the right thing! and kudos to the ubsung part of the rescue as well
Americans usually do this same stuff. A few weeks ago, a group of people ran in the road to rescue someone who was stick under a car.
To all who responded to rescue, great job!! Glad boy is okay!!❤❤❤
Give this reporter who saved that boy a raise, a promotion, whatever he wants! Because of him, that young boy got to go back to his parents!
Nope no raise - he didn't saved the boy alone. Haven' you watched the video - the reporter jumped in the waves where already rescuers were.
God bless him and everyone who saved the boy!
Bonus time for that newsman rescuer! Gday mate! Those Aussies, always ready for ANYTHING 😉
Make this guy employee of the century. His brave deed cannot go unnoticed
He didn't save him.. some other guy grabbed him and saved him.. he just jumped in the water, but never actually did anything, lmbo.
A credit to his humanity. Usually reporters just watch and talk about unfolding tragedies while doing nothing to help.
Rip currents are no joke. I don't let my family go in past their waist when the tides are like that. One day at the beach we saw the lifeguards rescue people nearly continuously for hours. As they were doing one rescue I had to go out and help some young kid get back to the beach as was got caught in the surf. It was mystifying to me that his parents were not keeping an eye on him at all times. Don't go in the water when it is rough and no lifeguards are on duty.
I live in florida,you are correct,RIP CURRENTS ARE NO JOKE HERE. I'm surprised you were able to recover from waist high water. Let me tell you,even in ANKLE-DEEP WATER,THEY CAN SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEET IN A HEARTBEAT,it is one of the scariest feelings ever to without warning,be pulled off your feet and into a fast-moving current BEFORE you can even get your bearings!
@@memsat2001 Most places have signs about what to do if you are caught in the current. Ride it out and then swim away from it before trying to head back toward shore. If you try swim shorewards, or pull someone shorewards, you will only exhaust yourself. Lots of rescuers die.
Who could ever imagine that? A reporter being really useful to society.
???
Several people was already trying to find and help the child before reporter even reacts. It was another person who finally got ahold of the kid.
Who ever uploaded the video used click bait to get more views.
This reporter is a hero! 🦸
So he used the 👔🧥collar off of his shirt as a flying Cape and flotation device and saved the day!!!
God bless you and the tailor !!🙏
god mol
ests kids
Wow. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
Weatherman saved nobody just ran into the water is all
😂
Bless them all that helped save this baby 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
He didn't do much but take his shirt off while others grabbed the boy but he gets the credit, smh.
Whatever, he joined in.
0:50 he literally gave credit where credit was due .. 🤜💥🤛
Most reporters would have run down there trying to interview people but this guy jumped into action. I applaud him for assisting with the rescue.
Awesome. 😎
The reporter is also a true life saver.
