"I Just Told Her To Hang On Tight. I Won't Let Go."


This has to be the picture of the year, compliments of Andrea Melendez from the Des Moines Register.

After a boat went over a dam, a man and a woman ended up in the water. The man drowned. A rescue crew tried several times to get her out of the water. No go. So the construction crew did it.

"They just harnessed me up and dipped me down in the water and I grabbed her and the crane drug her to the boat and that's it," Oglesbee said. "What are you going to do if she's like that? It's no big deal. The whole crew did it."
