"It was all adrenaline and reaction. Seconds seemed like minutes," Phung recalled Friday after the Coast Guard presented him with the Silver Lifesaving Medal, making him the 2,160th person to receive the honor since Congress created it in 1874.

The Coast Guard also awarded medals to three other people who were on Phung's boat when the 28-year-old jumped into the floodwaters and ripped open the top of a convertible to rescue Hailey Brouillette before the car sank into floodwaters. Phung also saved the woman's poodle mix, Sassy, from drowning.

That the guy that ripped through the convertible to get the woman out? That was an incredible video.

The lack of emotion from that woman has always boggled my mind.

Pun intended?

She was probably in a state of emotional shock.

How do you know this lady was drunk?

If that was a scene in a movie, and he went back and saved the dog, I would have thought it was lame, corny, and unrealistic.

Should have pulled the dog out and left her in.

I thought it was common knowledge that the woman jacked the car and was under the influence when she went in the ditch or whatever the hell it was. In a Miata. A Miata!

I thought it was too but yet everytime this story is told in the media, they refuse to mention that the only reason she was in the car is because she stole it!

Never heard that. Is it confirmed?
