Videos and photos recorded by American media of the anxious efforts to rescue an elderly couple and their dogs from their car, which is hanging in the void after falling from a bridge. The couple was trapped inside their car, which was hanging at an altitude of about 30 m.
The images captured in Idaho, USA are truly incredible. The truck first turned to the left before passing over the guardrail on the right side of the bridge. The caravan remained on the flyover, interrupting traffic in both lanes as the truck fell sideways.
When authorities arrived at the scene, their first move was to reinforce the vehicle with an additional set of chains, which they found in a nearby semi-truck, until the other teams arrived with special rescue equipment. The driver of the truck Rodney Drury, who hurried to help the authorities in rescuing the couple, states: "I was in the right place, at the right time. Really, I think it was God's will that I was there at the time. The vehicle was hanging from only a small chain when I looked at it. I knew there were people inside. "I did not want to see it fall."
The gorge over which the two elderly people were hanging caged is narrow, but deep, reaching as we mentioned above about 30 meters, ie the height of a 10-storey building. Elsewhere, the gorge reaches as high as 76 meters.
