Construction worker jumped into Lam River to save 3 people whose boat was sinking

For the past 3 days, people in Cam Son commune (Anh Son) and neighboring areas have been talking a lot about the brave action of Mr. Nguyen Kim Tuan (born 1987), in Cam Thang village, Cam Son commune, who saved 3 people whose boat sank on Lam river.

At around 9:00 a.m. on October 25, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy (born in 1954) in Tien Hop village, Hung Son commune, with her daughter-in-law Vo Thi Hoa (born in 1995) and granddaughter Nguyen Thi Thu were using the family's iron-hulled boat to cast a net to catch fish on the sea.Lam River.

When sailing to Cam Thang village, Cam Son commune, due to the water level in recent daysfloodsThe water rose high and the current was strong, so the boat of the mother and her three children capsized.

At this time, the three of them, mother and children, grandmother and grandchild, were struggling in the middle of the water. When he heard Mrs. Thuy's desperate cry for help, Mr. Tuan, who was working as a construction worker nearby, did not hesitate, despite the danger of the rushing flood water, and swam into the middle of the river to save the three of them. Due to the heavy rains in the past few days, the river water was rushing, and he was alone, so it was very difficult for him to bring the three people to shore safely.
