Water Rescue: Human Chain of Trust

Sometimes, we hesitate in the face of an emergency and experience an overwhelming feeling of helplessness. Recently, there was no such paralysis for over 80 beach goers who snapped into action and formed a human chain offshore from Panama City, FL to rescue a family being taken away by a deadly riptide. The hand-in-hand chain saved their lives and is also a shining example on how we also rely on strangers to protect us. There was tremendous trust within the chain that no one would let go and cause others to swirl into the riptide, thereby increasing the endangerment of more lives. Instead, a selfless group of individuals worked together and all became “Be the Ahh Heroes”!
