And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Why you never take your eye off the ocean, especially in a storm
Two things. That one guy just lays there and lets the sea wash him out. Jeez, don't just give up!
Second, what a weak effort at rescue from Mr. Yellow Coat. But at least he made an effort, unlike the cameraman/woman ( although there might not have been one). At least the "Take Me, Jesus" dude had a wife who was willing to get in the surf to save him. She's the only one who really comes out looking like a champ, although we can see here how people drown going in to save someone else.
Whew!
I don't speak much French, so I don't know what eventually happened, but I trust all three made it back to solid ground.
Update: the full story here.
WOw! Talk about a split second.
ReplyDeleteHere is a translation of the YouTube video description
Published on Feb 8, 2016Lundi February 8, 2016, on the beach side Porsguen Portsall around 17h, a retired couple was swept away by the waves caused by the storm on the Breton side.
They were saved by a Parisian vacation with his friend in Landéda recent months. A third man came to lend a hand. This is a hotel of Lannilis.
Parisian Olivier vacationer thank firefighters and emergency services in the region, including the staff of the CHU Brest.
A special thank you to Denise and Hervé capita Portsall for their welcome and their clothes chauds.Pour follow I love not having insulting comments on my old friend as he who keep near him the old man out of the drowning but more on the aspect of danger, in a very short time how the elements makes the danger of a mer.Merci those for their constructive comments over the olive green k way: o)
I hear tell on the internet that the person doing the camera work was handicapped in some way, which explains why they were no help.
