Vacationers on the beach of Panama City Beach in Florida, USA, organized a live chain of more than 70 people to save a drowning family, according to NV.

It all started with the fact that two children carried the current into the sea. Several family members and volunteers from the beach tried to save them, but the mountain-rescuers were also carried to the sea. Within 20 minutes they tried unsuccessfully to get ashore.

Then it was decided to make a living chain to deliver the drowning ashore.

In the chain, even those who could not swim.

"Watching people of different races and sexes work together to help completely unfamiliar people is simply amazing!" Says the swimmer Jessica Simmons, who was one of the first to rush to the rescue.

Within 30 minutes the live chain saved 9 adults and 2 children from the water. Among the rescued tourists was a 67-year-old woman who survived a heart attack in the water. Now she is in the hospital and her condition is stable.
