A boy who tried to save a capsized kayak ended up stranded in raging floodwaters near Houston, dramatic video shows.

Local resident Heidi Hall saw the boy and a companion trying to retrieve the kayak before he got swept up in the roaring rapids on Sunday, Caters News reported.

The youngster struggled to keep his head above the water in Lake Woodlands, 39 miles north of Houston, as he held onto a submerged buoy line.

Rescuers finally managed to pull the boy out danger and covered him in a blanket to cheers from onlookers.

“I couldn’t believe these two kids went after the kayak,” Hall said. “The current was obviously really strong but they swam out anyway.

“One of them managed to get to the shore but this kid was stuck for about 20 minutes just holding on to the buoy line,” she said. “All of the major rescue teams are downtown so this group didn’t have time to wait for a boat to appear.

“He could have lost his life just for the sake of a kayak,” she added.




What does two kids trying to save a kayak have to do with the Cajun Navy chief?

This should not be applauded.


Kid is a moron and should be treated as such.

The point I'm making, Commodore.

Emboldening ordinary individuals, through coverage or prestige to do things they normally would not, is adding potential casualties to the situation. Also, taking away from people who NEED the rescue to begin with.

I don't know how else to make this more crystal clear.

Look, i get y'all Louisiana boys think you are the next coming of Columbus with your boating and navigational skills and sure the Cajun Navy has saved lives, it's also adding to the problem.
