cheers to heroes of utah

one night last week while browsing the news i found a story about a car that had flipped over in a river. intrigued i opened the link, and found out that not only was it in utah, but it was in logan canyon; ten miles from where i grew up.

i read the story, about the car who went down a ten foot embankment and then flipped over in the river. about the father who escaped the car, and the three children left inside the car. about the people who jumped in the river to flip the car. about the man who shot the window out and cut the seat belts to get the children out. and how everyone cheered when the last child was breathing.

after i read this story i was just grateful for the happy outcome of it, and that people do amazing acts each day. thanks to fast acting people this family is alive.

the next morning evan sent me a link from cnn which had my brother phil quoted in it. that was pretty cool, and then yesterday i learned that phil and the other heroes of this story and the family would be on the ellen degeneres show.

here is the link: check it out.
