They saved this man's life! News reporters have been out here saving lives all day long with little sleep, away from home. There are no words to describe the city's gratitude towards them ❤️
amber petals sorry to hear that :/ I've been watching the news since Saturday and they've been nothing but helpful to those at home and those stuck in the water. I saw a reporter almost break down at the GRB. They're under great stress so I'd also try to be a bit considerate.
TheBlindGuy80 So many of these news folks of Houston have put REAL back into news. Damn good work!!! They should teach CNN MSNBC how to be journalist instead of shills for their whacked agenda.
I just want to say thank you my dad is a truck driver and he had to drive in this weather in Texas with all the flooding and tornados he is now safely home. That truck driver probably has a family very thankful to have the trucker home thank you so much and I hope everyone in Texas is doing well and is still kicking 💕Love from the state of Georgia💕
That reporter saved his life, bless you reporter. But wait that is no ordinary reporter, no reporter is that passionate. That my good people, is a *JOURNALIST.*
ordinary people doing extraordinary deeds to help other stranger people who needs help we need to see more of this videos instead of other hateful ones specially in this times, people of texas my heart and prayers goes out to you god bless all of us!
This reporter genuinely was nervous and caring for the man. She was not just reporting she was in service to the public. Very refreshing to see. Thanks young lady!! Thank the Lord you flagged them down. Award winner here. Best reporting I have seen in decades. She deserves kuddos.
BlueHen123 no...the rescue crew and that women did. Give God credit, but don't take it away from the human beings that risked their lives to save that man. I'm not saying God helped or not - but we see those people doing the helping - in a way you can say God caused the flooding. Should we blame God? No, of course not. But the same can be true for giving him thanks.
I read that the trucker got rescued by the Sheriff by boat. Wish there was some footage but we lost the signal from KHO11, the TV station. The station itself was under water and had to be evacuated. Maybe Brandi and her cameraman recorded the rescue!!
This is so inspiring! I hope your station acknowledges your dedication and professionalism, once you guys are able to start working under normal circumstances again! Please be safe, Texanians! Awesome work, Brandi!
My respects to you Brandi Smith! A lot of blessings to you and to the men who made this rescue possible! KHOU you have a hero in your crew!!! I was watching this via internet from Puerto Rico and i'm so happy because now the truck driver is safe and thanks to the Harris County Sherrif's staff for their huge effort!!! You're all are heroes!!!
"Yeah, because when you go to the gas station you have to bring your own hose. The pumps don't have hoses". Brandi, we forgive you for not putting two and two together with those guys. You were busy trying to save a life.
When there's no power, the pumps won't work at all unless you dismantle them and manually crank the pumping mechanism inside the pump to bring the gas up out of the holding tanks, assuming water has not breached them.
This precious reporter was sincere, ... the way she took off and ran into action was from her HEART, ... not for news coverage! Bless you young lady!!!
Kudos to Brandi and Mario for saving this man! I was watching this live and it was aired just before KHOU went off the air due to the flooding. Way to go!
Pray for my city. Right know in my neighborhood (which is about 5 minutes away from Downtown-Houston) is submerge in about a foot of water. Lucky my neighborhood still has electricity and barely drivable roads but two more days of rain similar to this and we're done for.
the trucker was lucky the reporter got him help- i dont think anyone else would have seen him to save him and it had to be pretty traumatic for the reporter to see how close to dying this trucker came.
It's not stealing when it's a state of emergency. Your fatass couldn't even get out of bed on a day like that. That's why immigrants will replace people like you.
Stay safe everyone, come together & be good to each other people :) We can and WILL pull through this, we have a major hurricane or flood about once a year. See to your kneighbors, see to your family & friends, make smart choices & be safe everyone!
God bless you all. God help you all with full recovery in each of your own situations. God bless you. A God Moment Sudden Rescue - a "SUDDENLY" Miracle that someone "just happened by" - God bless you all, Amen.
Brandi Smith and Photographer Mario Sandoval is the hero in my book. Father in Heaven blesses them. Watch over them and protect them. Much love from Royalane Robertson
Lots of cars stranded in water + desperation of not having gas available at any gas station (or any place really) + if you are driving around trying find a way out of flooded areas significantly depleting your fuel = reason to syphon gas.
First, I really appreciate what the reporter did and I thank the rescue team for saving his life. But I'm just wondering one thing: why didn't the driver jump out of the truck and just swim? I mean, I can understand it can be risky because of the currents and such, but before drowning inside my truck, at least I would give it a try.
The question is " How the hell did the semi-truck get there? Did the driver attempt to drive into it? Or did he fall asleep while the hurricane poured down?"
i know the reporters pretty hyped about helping someone, but those waters were pretty calm. if the driver bailed it wouldve been like a 20 ft swim to the embankment where they put the boat in.
He was probably trying to hide between the bridge and the trees so he doesn't get over Blowing by the wind that was a good idea but he never thought he would face 16 feet high water that's higher than the trailer.
I watched this live and then the TV station lost its signal and we didn't get the chance to see the sheriff rescue the guy. The network lost its signal due to the water coming into the building. It took hours for them to make arrangements with other stations to get back on the air but I don't know what happened to the truck driver because there was just too much other things going on with people with this catastrophic monster storm.
Great job flagging down that rescue response team there's no way of telling what might have happened if he was just left there... I would only hope someone would do that for me or my children great job.
She didn’t cut it. The station was completely cut off air (their actual building was being flooded/evacuated). The camera man continued recording and it was later uploaded to Facebook. Search for it on TH-cam, it’s on here.
why doesn't the truck drive roll down the window and climb to the top of the truck before water starts coming in. I mean thats the most logical thing to do than wait for the water to come in right?!?!?!
The driver is safe.. he was saved by the rescue team.. I was so worried about that driver and after some time KHOU telecasted the rescue operation. I was so happy :)
This young reporter is a hero. God bless her.
How is she a hero the guy can get out he truck and swim she's no fucking hero she's just exaggerating it's not a life or death situation
Mr. Lockout & Tow There is a current, it would be too fast to swim against and he would be swept underneath the bridge.
Mr. Lockout & Tow first if he open the door it would flood him and also I will never assume someone can swim!!!
sort of
how is she a hero tf? all she's doing is commenting over the accident-_-

Kudos Brandi and Mario!! You're my heroes today!
Now this is some real reporting & some awesome SHERRIFS!!!!
Cant_Touch_This Alex did NOT say that. I saw his reports. It covering what is going on. He sent 2 reporters down.
In all seriousness, it's slightly misleading. I expected the reporter to personally rescue him.
ordinary people doing extraordinary deeds to help other stranger people who needs help we need to see more of this videos instead of other hateful ones specially in this times, people of texas my heart and prayers goes out to you god bless all of us!
This reporter genuinely was nervous and caring for the man. She was not just reporting she was in service to the public. Very refreshing to see. Thanks young lady!! Thank the Lord you flagged them down. Award winner here. Best reporting I have seen in decades. She deserves kuddos.
This is going to win a Pulitzer. I guarantee it. She is a REAL journalist. And this video is the most captivating I've seen this year.
Lady, you're awesome!!!
bless that girls heart for doing that, I was watching her do that before she froze.
GOD SAVED THAT MAN NOT THE WOMAN
BlueHen123 no...the rescue crew and that women did. Give God credit, but don't take it away from the human beings that risked their lives to save that man.

BlueHen123 You are why the Christian religion is under so much fire. Fuck you and your family.
Wow! Our local news channel is number 16 on trending! :D
Again to say, that girl is a hero.
I read that the trucker got rescued by the Sheriff by boat. Wish there was some footage but we lost the signal from KHO11, the TV station. The station itself was under water and had to be evacuated. Maybe Brandi and her cameraman recorded the rescue!!
They have it in a different thread, keep looking - it's there.
where? I can not find it I watched live and really wan to see the end!
I'll see if I can get the link
Anne Pierson go to brandi's facepage page. Brandi Smith KH011 and you will find it there.
Thanks I found it
Great job Brandi and Mario
Grace under pressure is true courage. All of the people out there helping their neighbors and risking their lives are truly courageous.
This is so inspiring!
I hope your station acknowledges your dedication and professionalism, once you guys are able to start working under normal circumstances again!
Please be safe, Texanians! Awesome work, Brandi!
My respects to you Brandi Smith! A lot of blessings to you and to the men who made this rescue possible! KHOU you have a hero in your crew!!! I was watching this via internet from Puerto Rico and i'm so happy because now the truck driver is safe and thanks to the Harris County Sherrif's staff for their huge effort!!!

These news crews deserves a medal for heroism. This is a real journalism.
Brandi has alot of compassion💗
"Yeah, because when you go to the gas station you have to bring your own hose. The pumps don't have hoses".

kamaboko1 did you not watch it and she explained it too.
That still does not necessitate this hose...
This precious reporter was sincere, ... the way she took off and ran into action was from her HEART, ... not for news coverage! Bless you young lady!!!

God Bless You Lady You Just Saved That Man's Life !! Jesus Bless Her In Her Life ☺☺
the trucker was lucky the reporter got him help- i dont think anyone else would have seen him to save him and it had to be pretty traumatic for the reporter to see how close to dying this trucker came.
TherealgoddessK I thank God for that lady.
Yeah, she even check up on him afterwards. She really has a pure heart.
we are proud of you Brandi and Mario.. Hats off!!
A man with a siphoning hose around his shoulder wasn't headed to a gas station in the first place.
Looks like the guys trying to find gas are going to steal - as they have a rubber siphon hose...
yeah when all the stations are closed, you do what you have to
It's not stealing when it's a state of emergency. Your fatass couldn't even get out of bed on a day like that. That's why immigrants will replace people like you.
lol what lawn it's underwater..immigrants don't know how to swim.
VenomKpp I thought they swam to get here
Open you mouth wider, I need to shit down your ANTIFA throat.
'The gas station is under water.'
"oh yeah?"
**continues walking in the same direction**
You are a hero!!! This has been a disaster! Im praying, im here in Houston Texas and the rain does not stop.
You go, girl. The smile at 3:24 says it all.
Reporter saved His Life she deserves a raise and promotion
reporter's make up is water proof
yeah she looks good imo
Mathias J the
Mathias J 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 W
Was about to comment that, she's looking blessed 🙂
Oteb Oteb Blessed 🙂
Good job lady, well done!
Good job reporter Brandi Smith AND videographer/ journalist Mario Sandoval.
Was watching her when this happened. Her reporting and her camera man were fantastic!
Stay safe everyone, come together & be good to each other people :) We can and WILL pull through this, we have a major hurricane or flood about once a year. See to your kneighbors, see to your family & friends, make smart choices & be safe everyone!
This reporter is a hero your a blessing and a miracle .......
God bless you all. God help you all with full recovery in each of your own situations. God bless you. A God Moment Sudden Rescue - a "SUDDENLY" Miracle that someone "just happened by" - God bless you all, Amen.
Brandi Smith and Photographer Mario Sandoval is the hero in my book. Father in Heaven blesses them. Watch over them and protect them. Much love from Royalane Robertson
Well done, Woman!!! You are a hero.
This lady is ready for a major network gig. Cool under pressure.
did you see that siphon hose.. they are going to get gas from a stalled vehicle..... LOL on national TV no less!
Deborah Shingleton haha! That's why the one guy didn't want to be interviewed!
watsitallabout well, honestly if cars are abandoned and sinking. Why not?
Deborah Shingleton gotta do what you gotta do when there's a state emergency
Because it's not your gas.
My left ear enjoyed this.
You saved his life! Thank God you were there and flagged down the truck with the boat.
BRANDI is an angel - doing G-d's work in this rescue! Way to go! From your Oregon friends!
Going to get gas from the "gas station" dude us going to steal gas out of someones car.
That was my observation as well - siphon hose at the ready has nothing to do with finding a gas station...
Ohhh shit LMFAO didn't even realize that good call
oh dang. I mean desperate times man
...plus, he's a long way from Guatemala
Have to say, he is prepared.
Oh dame, she is a reporter for our local news in harris county right now, she is still reporting on the flooding
I live in Houston thanks for the help
Great work, Brandi. You da real MVP dog.
She is amazing God bless her
I live in Houston right now This is TRUE people
God bless you and God bless America
this gives me hope for the world.
He's fixing to steal gas.
lol yeah
Lots of cars stranded in water + desperation of not having gas available at any gas station (or any place really) + if you are driving around trying find a way out of flooded areas significantly depleting your fuel = reason to syphon gas.
redpilllifesaver they were waving down cars to ask for gas
WolfGang BMX If they can't get anybody to give them gas then they may steal some.
Great Job Brandi
First, I really appreciate what the reporter did and I thank the rescue team for saving his life. But I'm just wondering one thing: why didn't the driver jump out of the truck and just swim? I mean, I can understand it can be risky because of the currents and such, but before drowning inside my truck, at least I would give it a try.
After watching this I'm definitely putting "rubber hose" on my top 10 survival items list
Deja Vu to the max, same truck, same guy, same flood, only this time he lived.
Please explain how the title is accurate? What did they do to help? Stand there and film it while talking about it?
The question is " How the hell did the semi-truck get there? Did the driver attempt to drive into it? Or did he fall asleep while the hurricane poured down?"
Btw.. how long does it take to back down the truck and get the boat in the water.. really?!?!?!
i know the reporters pretty hyped about helping someone, but those waters were pretty calm. if the driver bailed it wouldve been like a 20 ft swim to the embankment where they put the boat in.
He was probably trying to hide between the bridge and the trees so he doesn't get over Blowing by the wind that was a good idea but he never thought he would face 16 feet high water that's higher than the trailer.
News reporter meeting; "Be sure to use these words, Dire, Catastrophic, Life Threatening, over and over".
Lol homeboy had the siphon hose ready. Can't say I blame them.
These cops are taking their sweet ass time
That truck driver said "help! I dun' diddley fell on my dun b'diddley and I can't move!"
I watched this live and then the TV station lost its signal and we didn't get the chance to see the sheriff rescue the guy. The network lost its signal due to the water coming into the building. It took hours for them to make arrangements with other stations to get back on the air but I don't know what happened to the truck driver because there was just too much other things going on with people with this catastrophic monster storm.
It was so obvious they were not going to go pay for gas, I can't believe she interviewed them when it was so apparent. It was super awkward
Go Brandi! 💕
Damn she's trying hella hard to stay calm
Great job flagging down that rescue response team there's no way of telling what might have happened if he was just left there... I would only hope someone would do that for me or my children great job.
I wasnt too concerned about the truck driver but the reporter sure is fine
I dont get it. The driver cannot open the truck door?
Wow why doesn't the trucker just roll Dow window and swim out ?? Mabey he can't swim ??
teamhuman2 that's what I'm wondering. Can people really not swim for like .1/mile
teamhuman2 his parents never taught him to swim cause nobody taught them
those waters could be rushing way faster than they look. He could get swept away REAL quick.
Because that's how you die. A woman died that exact way last night. The water is more powerful than you think.
You answered your own question there sport.
no rescue shown. clickbait
Susan B They lost signal. Remember, she said her station was being evacuated. I think there is footage of the rescue on another video.
Shanna Clankie m
It said that the video ended before the rescue. So at least they tried to be honest.
Truckers know one thing. GO until you cant no more.
Sup holmes, I'm just here to siphon your gas holmes...
that trucker should be on top of his truck waving for help!
why cant the guy just get out of the trailer and swim to the nearest ramp? the water is completely still.
Is it safe to exit the car window and swim to shore?
Why would you cut the video before the rescue? What is the point of uploading it?
She didn’t cut it. The station was completely cut off air (their actual building was being flooded/evacuated). The camera man continued recording and it was later uploaded to Facebook. Search for it on TH-cam, it’s on here.
That guy with the green hose is going to syphon some gas. maybe steal it!
Legends.
BRANDY AND MARIO, SUPER HERO DUO.
These news crews have learned from pranksters... (Only help when the camera is rolling) lol
Why can't he climb out of the truck and hold onto the door?
Nice to see George Lopez give a helping hand.
Pray for me i live in Houston and trapped in my house
Im probably the only one enjoying this weather
Am I glitching? Why am I the only person who hears no sound from this video??
The urgency. ...LOLz.
Why it took so long to put the boat in the water!
Pray for them all! The Catholic church is the true original church!
why doesn't the truck drive roll down the window and climb to the top of the truck before water starts coming in. I mean thats the most logical thing to do than wait for the water to come in right?!?!?!
And, stay out of your attics. Use your head!
If only they could rescue my right ear
She's sitting there yakking away meanwhile that poor driver is outa weed and his papers are wet ?
why o why the truck driver did not went on the top on the truck?????
We don't see if the driver is rescued because the video ends.?
yes they lost broadcast because their studio flooded and had to be evacuated
The driver is safe.. he was saved by the rescue team.. I was so worried about that driver and after some time KHOU telecasted the rescue operation. I was so happy :)
