them holding girl's hand while walking back on the rocks says a lot about their true commitment to her physical and emotional well being. good kids all around.
How the 2 girls end up there in the first place with that rough water? Is it because the want a great photo to post in sosial media, and then slipped in the water or what?
@@Algojo Maybe she was just getting close to the water and slipped
@@Algojo that’s not what’s matters in the end though. It is a lesson for them to learn though. There aren’t a lot of those people around
As a lifeguard I’ll tell you it’s because people are retarded and even if they can’t swim they’ll go into deep water.
well its also cause the rock slippery af
They look like twins…. outstanding young men.
I was going to say the same thing. They definitely could pass for brothers or even twins.
I was looking for this comment.
That's what i'm talking bout.
@@annleigh_ always have to put the color of someone’s skin into stuff huh? Weird.
If you told me they were brothers I wouldn't even question it.
The parents should be so proud of the heroes they raised.
Absolutely 💯
No young man, not just anyone would do what you did (even if they could). Kudos to whoever raised these young MEN.
Right? The camera guy didn't do anything
They probably get a ton of ass now
@@randomvintagefilm273 If the camera person didn't have the skills to jump in, they were better off behind the camera.
@@randomvintagefilm273Their trained lifeguards they have some experience, jumping in can cause more problems. Had to help pry open a door with my crowbar in a car crash, I knew how to use it. Sometimes it’s best to get help
Water rescue is extremely dangerous. I did some rescue training, the first thing you learn is the person in trouble is more dangerous then the water, because they will push/pull you down to try and stay up
This story is what the world needs more of!
YES INDEED!!!
Great kids !!
I’m guessing your comment worked, because I just got recommended this video
And we rarely ever see it😒
Did Elon just flash us? 0:00
The news anchors said they're best friends... Am I the only one who thinks they could pass as brothers? They look a lot alike. Great rescue. We need more teens like them in the world...
That's what I thought at first, very sus...
@@AndyPandy33 agreed.... Something is off
Yes! They look identical!
Also, they do not need to be brothers, my sister's son looks like my son, so this could be anything but they are defo family.
they are lovers
My daughters best friend died there after being swept into the water by a rogue wave. So grateful these hero’s were able to rescue these girls.
💔
that is so sad, i'm so sorry :(
So sorry.😢
Why would they even be in that area is the question. Sounds like the parents fault.
2 guys who demonstrated heroism. Way to go!
He was praising that mom's hug he received more than anything he did for those girls. That says a lot. Both are true heros!
He is saying that because AS MEN, WE RARELY FEEL TRUE LOVE, we rarely get true hugs like that, we rarely feel love in our lives, that is why he felt that way about a hug and look what he had to do to earn it...
@@winstonred5322 not true lmao incel get outta here

“…it’s just what anyone else would have done.”
No. No sir, it’s not.
Ya’ll totally deserve this honor for your preparation and immediate action.
Exactly my thoughts lol
Exactly! 🥰
People over dramatize when human instinct comes naturally.
@@val13c59 Instinct and readiness are not the same thing. However, when combined, they could make for even more heroic acts.
Freakin true. Looking at the footage i’d never go in the water
_Being ready to sacrifice your own life to another is what bravery is._ RESPECT.
BEYOND deserving. So many people risk their lives and don't live to tell their story. I am SO HAPPY EVERYONE made it out alive. 🙌🏾💜🙏🏾
Zach and Jake are real heros. They are absolutely deserving of the Carnegie Medal.
True heroes I said video where these young guys were watching somebody drown and they were laughing what happened so it isn't what anybody would do it's what a hero did or does
@Cory Burns got a link, you fat fuckin’ liar?
It is what anyone else would do. Especially trained life guards. I think it's awesome this happened. I'm laughing a bit because...of this.... I jumped into riptide in St Pete Florida swam out approx 200 meters with an 5 gallon bucket to save a family of 4 they each were able to barely hang on ..the current brought us back to the inner coastal...that took about 20 min and the dad almost gave up twice while we were out there. There were two adults in there early 50s and 2 children approx 8 and 10 they were terrible swimmers and I am certain they would have lost a family member that afternoon. We floated back to "passe grille beach inlet" and by the time we'd made it back...I heard more screams coming from behind me. I got them to shore..swam out about 50 meters and was able to guide the other swimmer. He was attempting to rescue the other family and had grown too exhausted in his efforts. I got to him just in time. As we all regrouped at the beach people had began to gather. I was sure they were fine the ambulance and fire department showed up and my work was done. I began to walk back to the group I was with, the mother, now being cared for by the fire department yelled thank you! You saved my family!! Please let me thank that man she said as she tried to sit up...the last thing I remember is a St Pete police officer say...ma'am highly doubt it was him... folks like him dont swim. She was lifted up in a stretcher and slid into an ambulance. I left out that I'm a black man... apparently we can't swim? That's exactly what that officer meant when he said what he said. Because I was serving in the military at the time I looked exactly like a swimmer...in shape and highly motivated... I said your welcome ma'am. My team mates and I left (3witnesses) and I haven't thought about this incident since it happened 7 years ago. I hope that family is okay.
And I hope people keep being heros..good job boys. The two of you just made a life long memory for that little girl
nah, it's the teachers
Recently, there was a black man that saved the life of a Law Enforcement officer but he did not get a Carnegie Award....

These 2 look like twins! They may not share the same mother, but each have more than their fair share of courage.
"One of the best hugs I've ever received," this made me burst into tears, knowing how appreciative I'd be if it were my own daughter. True American heroes.
Yep. That did it for me too.
Yup me too.

@@trvman1 10 people in the water seems excessive and counterproductive, I'm glad someone filmed so that the world got to see this amazing rescue
Everything they did was selfless and courageous. I held back the tears but then as they were walking away he reached back for her hand and I lost it. Something to be proud of the rest of their lives.
From fellow lifeguard in Ms : you didn’t think about what could are what might you thought about them and how they were doing you show the mentality of people who are willing to look past your life and be who you needed to be in this situation to help those people .and that what you did bravo . I take y’all as wing man any day
This brings hope and light to a world that has been in darkness. These two boys are heros.
You couldn't have said it better. Perfect statement!
Hopefully that lady didn’t give him a s*xually assault lawsuit… you know now a days you never know
They became men that day.
There's only darkness in individual people's heads that they bring out everything affects everything even you saying that can affect someone
There will always be evil but good always wins. People worry about the future generation growing up but with guys like this being around everything will be A-O-K 👌
People who aren’t familiar with swimming, those waves are brutal, you would exhaust your muscles pretty quick if your not a solid swimmer. Don’t underestimate the water, easy way for a slow and drawn out drowning death. Maybe with knowing that, you can appreciate how talented that rescue was. Especially that they didn’t have any tools or rescue equipment, just their bodies and skill set.
Not to mention that he had one girl on his back and the other by his hand. Amazing stuff.
JESUS IS LORD 🙏
@@USVET-yv6fd Man that wasn't jesus saving those kids... give props where props are due. If you really believe in divine intervention, then why do literally over 100,000+ people (many of which are innocent people) die daily
Gods plan. He doesn't just take the guilty, also the Innocent.
He had his own son, who never sinner ever, die a most brutal death, so others could be forgiven of our sins.
Those boys are no doubt absolutely amazing heros, but God set that meeting up.

When I was 15 a guy named Alejandro saved me from drowning at South Padre Island beach in Corpus Christi, TX. He nearly drowned trying to save me and when we got to shore we both collapsed on the sand from exhaustion. I don’t know his last name.. but wherever you are, Alejandro, YOU are MY hero. I have had an amazing life and I owe it to you. I hope you are healthy, and happy, and life has treated you well. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Good young men and good job parents for raising them.
well said
@@boogiedownforever > Yes, and prayer's abound with extra blessing's! :-)
Totally awesome young mens
I don't think this behavior is good because they would be possibly sacrificing their lives for someone they don't know and that people (the ones in the water) got there by their own stupidity. Why shouldn't they just go and save them?? because first they don't know the situation and they don't have help(from authorities or other people) and imagine how would the families of the "heroes" feel if they died? And finally, I think the correct solution would be to call 911 (I think that's the number of the united states emergency call)
@@akira1404 One of the teenagers had finished "lifeguard training" ...they were both born and raised in the area and knew about the dangerous waters. They had probably been taught different options of what to do in that kind of situation at lifeguard school. Why would you question what we consider good behavior? Oh, that's right...you are NOT an American. America is known as "The Land of the Free and The Home of the Brave" for a reason... I forgive you though, unless you ARE an American, you wouldn't understand.
🤯
You guys deserve that medal ! God bless you and your family !
These young men deserve their medal very well. Kudos to them and their parents.
"the best hug I've ever received!" That young man was the award you will carry for the rest of your life!!!" Well done!!! 😊
They look like Brothers, GOD Bless Them....
They're 🧒brothers👦 in life & it's clear their individual personalities compliment the other...bravo for your heroism🏆
Inbreeding is common for these kind of ppl.
Obviously well raised kids. Good job young men, great job to the parents.
It wasn't only that they jumped in to save her. They then held her hand to let her know she was ok. And he's right, there is nothing like a hug from a grateful mother.
Where the hell was the mother to begin with? Letting her kids get that close to the edge
@@HipsterDoofus100she was swimming and got swept away. Calm down kid
These two are indeed heroes, but I question the one boy's statement: "it's what anyone would've done". Not just anyone would jump into water like that. These two boys are amazing
Perhaps everyone with lifeguard qualifications would have done that. But I certainly wouldn't have been very useful in that particular situation...
@@sbarmiueenl yeah, i would probably just have drowned with them lol
Most men would
@@ian9toes Of course they would
@@ian9toes We, as men, if fit an able, Help. Always without question. It's what we do. Bravo to the rad ones that lay in the cut. Hopefully never needed.
You see, there are decent human beings out there. Spread kindness......
A lot of ppl wouldn’t do that… so thank you, 2 brave strong courageous young men. The world needs strong men. I’m crying😭😭😭these things always hit in my the feels
Those girls were so incredibly blessed to have these young men there.
Amen
God is good.
mass orgy that nite!!
@@BlessedToBeSaved333 All the time!
Blessed they were kids not cops!
"anybody else would have done" the kid is humble and modest. A lot of people would drown in the process or not even attempt. These two are very courageous.
@Lamrich Gaming - Steam Card Giveaway on 4/16 Well, I know I can't swim soooo. Yeah I'm not getting no medal.
@Lamrich Gaming - Steam Card Giveaway on 4/16 Look up tsunami videos of 2004 and 2011. There are literally tons of videos. In fact the mother of these kids didn't even jump into the water.
Unfortunately even if there are some people so good and brave, things don't go everytime as this.. I would like to share a story that happened a few years ago in the region where I live, in memory of the person who saved two people but died in the process:
Two tourists went into the sea even if that day there was a strong wind and it was recommended to not go into the sea. Indeed in a few minutes they were dragged away by the underwater currents and were risking to die. A young man just got into the waters to save this two people (strangers to him), he successfully drag them nearer to the shore but then he was dragged himself by the current and died.
It was really sad that a young man died for the stupidity of two people.
most people would have their iPhones out filming the girls drowning, then rushing to post it to youtube. No, these young men are rare these days.
Not all people would jump especially if you cannot swim but you need to think fast and improvise to help the kid then immediately call for help.
I'll never forget when I was taken far out by a rip, and a man who who already saving his daughter, grabbed me with his other arm and swam us both to safety. I never got to thank the man who saved my life but ill tell you that you never forget these things. Those girls will be forever grateful to you. Great work hero's!
I always pray I have the fortitude to do this if it comes time. Great work young heros!!!
Well done lads. The world needs more kids like yourselves. That's called " Leading the Way". I hope you two live a long and safe life.❤
Well Said ‼💯%😇👍🏆
This could have gone horribly wrong for everyone involved. I’m so happy to hear they all survived!
They are earth angels. Thank you from the he bottom of my heart for your compassion and bravery!❤
Acts of selflessness and courage happen everyday and we never hear about it, the world needs to see more stories like these.
The boys were very humble and not everyone would and or could do that rescue! They are absolutely loving and giving to do what they did to rescue
Exactly, saying anyone would do that is naive and down playing it. I wouldn't. I can't swim. That would have been curtains but as was said right place right times
Real Heroes those families will always remember both of you for saving there children
Yeah, you’re family at that point❤️

Two nice young men who put their lives at risk to save two girls. They deserve recognition from the authority. God bless them.
These two are really amazing, their loved ones must be so proud. ❤
What wonderful young men they are. Great job to their parents for raising such good young men!
You young men answered the call and in that moment became Angels RESPECT
Absolutely! I don’t know them but I’m so proud of them. 💕
God bless these young men❤
These two young men risked their own lives to save these two girls and should receive this honor! Thank God they all made it out of the water safe and sound.... It could have ended badly, but thankfully it didn't!
These young men are so deserving of this award. Just wow.
As a mom, I'm so relieved that these gentlemen were there and willing and able to help. God bless. We'll deserved

Adorable brotherly heroes. There is no greater love than to risk your own life for another.

I've done dive training in waters and conditions like this, but I can't imagine being without equipment AND being responsible for another person panicking and in trouble and stressed. This demonstrates you're never too young to get training in First Aid, swimming, and other skills needed in real life. Kudos to both these brave young men. Looks good on you.
@Dwight St. John, Except the only reason why they aren’t considered STUPID is because the 2 brother heroes survived
@@missld6856 Exactly it was extremely stupid and many times it ends up with the "heroes" also dying. The correct thing is never attempt water rescue and contact emergency services. This almost always ends up with more people dying.
@@missld6856 Those 2 are anything but stupid, but thanks for trying to disparage the Hero’s Here. YOU are just someone behind a keyboard easy to Judge others in the comfort of your…? I dunno Trailer? Prolly.
The Guy said He didn’t think about it, flip flops came off and in the Water He went. . It was PURE INSTINCT, someone is in danger of Drowning (HE WAS A TRAINED LIFEGUARD, did you miss that???) so in he went as 2 lives were at stake. SO Who is the stupid one here and Who is the Hero!
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep Did you miss the part where they mentioned that these kids were lifeguards?
Sure if you're a kid (or a dumb adult), call in the pros, but if you're a level headed adult who knows how to approach the issue... it's time to roll up your sleeves and dive in.
All things considered, it's easy to say; it's another thing to do. Time is of the essence and lives are on the line in these situations. Someone's screaming "save me before I die" and you're like "brb, im gonna go contact emergency services"...
I think telling you to "grow a pair" would have very little effect...
I believe children are too young for such training. I'll tell you why - it's a major shock even for an adult, the first time they try to revive someone drowned for real and it doesn't work. Children will blame themselves and they absolutely shouldn't put themselves in danger IRL.
Saved that mom a entire lifetime of self recrimination and regret
So sweet how he took the little girl's hand after they got out of the water. Very brave young men.
It's so easy to be disappointed in the human race and easy to forget about all the good people out there. Thanks guys for reminding us of the innate goodness of people!
You truly made it when you see all the good and forget the bad easily.
Well said!
Bless you boys, you warmed my heart also❤️
With young lads like this around theres hope for humanity yet....👍👌👏
Humility with bravery. What a combination. You give old people like me a reason to believe our country is in good hands in the future.
Not everybody would of done that. God bless those 2 angels.
the parents that raised these young men are the parents of the century right here, i can only imagine the pride in their hearts watching this video seeing their sons do what all parents hope their children will do............. be responsible, caring and doing whats right. congrats to these young men. i am sure we'll be hearing your names again in the future.
do you really have to thank the parents? Like why? You know nothing about their parents. They literally could have terrible parents that raise them. You don't need great parents to know that you should help someone. If you would just say how their parents could be proud of them i wouldn't feel the need to comment. But you leave a comment that implies bad parents make bad kids, thats a whole can of worms that spinned in a different way you would hate to attribute it to. Just say they are heroes, leave their parents out of it.
@@codypriceTH-camAddednumbers i never said bad parents make bad kids. i said that these parents would be proud of their children and what is wrong with giving some praise to their parents? your right! i don't know their parents, nor do i know if they even have parents. i was merely showing some love to people. wow! if my non-violent, non-disrespectful and non-sarcastic comment bothered you to the point you had to respond, i feel for you that you don't have anything better to do then try to call me out for showing respect and kindness to people. that's all!

Congrats guys! My nephew saved a set of 8 year old twins from a San Diego beach 2 years ago. At 17 years old, he struggled to bring both to shore at the same time--they were panicking and trying to push him under. For a few days after, he was exhausted, bruised, and sore. At the time, the whole family was mad that he put himself in danger, but we quickly realized that he was a hero; we were just scared. These boys truly deserve that medal. 👏
Your nephew as well. They all make this world a better place. ❤️
Thanks for sharing your story.
@@Ines_23 Yes!
And perhaps if the Carnegie staff had been notified your nephew might have also received that award. But, rest assured, the Lord knows of his good deed. And now…so do all of us.
Please please, contact the Garnegie staff about your nephew!!! He *needs* to have the award so that he forgets all the negative feedback of the family forever. He needs to *feel* the hero that he is! It is something which can be proud of in his death bed!
*Carrying 2 kids on his back to safety at 17 is not only heroick, but extremely show of physical and mental strenght!!!*

Good to see men being rewarded instead of criticized for a change. These guys are amazing men and the girls were lucky they were there.
This had me crying with emotion. Very courageous young men, altruistically risking their lives for others. Well deserved for Carnegie medals. They were at the right place at the right time. I heard the boys say they’ve been friends for a long time, yet their facial resemblance is uncanny, so much so, that they could pass for brothers …

@@CONEHEADDK I should have read all the replies before I wrote mine! think it's the mailman!
These two young men are true heroes in every sense. The way the hold the little girl's hands walking away is so touching. They deserve everything good coming their ways.
Wow, what a heroic thing to do and so glad they were given a medal. It's definitely not something anyone would have done but they're so humble young men. They're going to be the type of people who do good things in their lives because they both speak with kindness and empathy from their heart. Lovely story.
You can tell just from the way they talk, they're good kids raised properly, mom and dad should be proud.
These guys are real hero’s, I was once rescued by a man sent by God. I woke up unconscious in the hospital - I wish I could find him to thank him.
i hope you get the chance to one day John ❤️ glad your here to share that.
@@d00mboy13 Thankyou brother ❤️❤️
Trust me. He knows. ❤️🌷
Their parents raised them so well. Great lifeguard instincts as well, not every guard I know would have the confidence in their skills to make that save
Nobody you know would
@@Bighannes410 ?
@@mxtt8170 like nobody you know would have done the same thing or could have
@@Bighannes410 I’m a trained lifeguard with 4+ years experience and a waterfront certification and I am good friends with many current or former lifeguards. But like I said, I don’t think all of them would have been confident in their ability to pull it off. it’s impressive is what I’m saying.
no need to hate when you know nothing about me
@@mxtt8170 no need to lie either for strangers
Thank you for saving the life of someone who would have lost their life in a blink of an eye . Thank you !!!!!! 💜💜👍👍🤟🏄🏿♂️🏄🏿♀️🏄🏿
I thought they were twins. Brave young men. Great job!
No guys, it's not what "anyone" else would have done. Your humility becomes you, but to knowingly and genuinely put one's own life on the line for another is an act of great courage. Many will do it, but not most. You guys are in that special category. It is a small society of brothers and sisters we call "True Heroes", and it does not involve the sports or entertainment industries. Thank you, gentlemen. Semper Fi.
@RikkiO Agree, there are no true heroes in sports or entertainment because they haven't risked their life trying to save someone.
Thank you for your service.

This is an incredible honor. I had nominated an Austrian citizen back in 2008. I was in the Tyrolean Alps glacier skiing in the summer. I was in a bad accident and was freezing to the ice. One of the last mountain ops guys just so happened to hear me and radioed for a heli to get me evacuated out. I would have been dead if it weren’t for him being in the right place at the right time. In 2011 I brought my entire family to Innsbruck to see him.
That’s amazing!! So glad everything worked out
I'm from innsbruck lol
True hero’s. We need more young men like this. True valiant act.
They’re so humble. They say what anybody would have done but people were filming the rescue and their own mother didn’t help? They did what others didn’t do!
“A great man doesn't seek to lead. He's called to it. And he answers."
This is a wonderful quote but… How does it pertain to this occurrence?
Maybe the first young man lead the way?
