In one of the videos, the woman’s voice can be heard asking for help, about to be swept away by the fury of the current. David, in cold blood: “Where are you? I need to see your hand.”
The tension increases every second. Finally, the woman manages to hold out her hand, and David grabs her tightly, managing to pull her out of the current.. Once the rescue is over, he admits, still in disbelief: “Give me your hand, I see the hand and I take it… 15 days have passed and it seems like a day to me.”

Sergio, who filmed the scene, comments between sighs: “We started screaming because we thought the water had taken him away; those were very hard moments.” With the help of neighbors, the man was finally rescued, supported by the driver of a van which, a few minutes earlier, was completely flooded.
