“The first thing he said he wanted to do was check if someone was in there,” Young told KHOU. “He was just ready to jump over the edge, he's not thinking, he's just going, it's primal." “How do you get him out?” Young asked before she turned her phone over to her daughter who continued recording the rescue.
"I see somebody in need, especially in this dire of need, I just jump in and go straight for it," he told the outlet. “If it happened again today, hands down, I’d jump in and do it even if it was worse … no questions asked."
