Good Samaritans Jump in Water After Boat Capsizes

Good Samaritans were quick to react on April 26 after a boat capsized and hit another vessel in a canal in North Miami Beach, sending five people to the hospital. Shane Zamani, who was at the scene when the incident occurred, told Storyful he watched the boat crash and flip in North Miami Beach, Florida. As he immediately jumped in, his son grabbed his phone to record the rescue. Talking to local media, Zamani https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/good-samaritan-almost-hit-by-capsized-boat-in-north-miami-beach-speaks-out-as-5-remain-hospitalized/ said he "came upon an air pocket" when he went under the boat, and there found a mother holding her two children. "I'm like, 'OK, hold your breath.' So we went under, we came up, someone grabbed her from me, and took her to our boat. [I] went back down and got her son," Zamani said. Zamani, whose own boat almost got hit by the loose vessel, said, "If it would have kept coming straight, I would not be here giving you this interview right now." Rescue crews took five people to the hospital, including three children. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating what caused the driver of the capsized boat to lose control. (Footage by Shane Zamani/Storyful via Getty Images UGC)
