View Profile WWW Email Personal Message (Offline) Ignore BUS NUT HEROS « on: Today at 05:09:56 PM » Reply with quoteQuote We have two new Bus nut heros, they don’t think so but we do and so will you. On wednesday four busses were ready ti leave Midway Campground in the Big Cypress National Park in south Florida on rout 41. A car stopped at the entrance of the campground for a second. Then speeded of very fast into the lake. The car was a newer chrysler 300. All the windows were up and was floating 70 foot from were it went in the lake and 30 feet of shore. That is when Tom Mason swam to the in 60 deep water with alligators i n the water with a rope and tied it of to the car. John Vickrey puled the car to shore withTom. The person cas unconscious when we got the car to shore. More line were tied to the car in the water and John Car and Tom’s Van on land. The car was in 60 foot of water that dropped off very fast. The Driver of the came two and John broke out the window glass when it started to sink. Tom and John got the Mans head out the rear door window as the car went under water but still secured to land, part of the trunk and one tail light out of the water. They had the driver all most out when 911 arrived. TWO GREAT MEN | ||

Thanks, but neither of us feel like heroes, just doing what came natural. I just hoped the gators weren't gonna try anything natural. And they never told me they were near until later. ;-) I'm sure most, if not all, of you would have done the same. | ||

I would embellish the story for the papers. Have Tom sitting in the shade of his Eagle sipping a cool one while someone is polishing his rims. Suddenly the car hits the lake! Jumping into action and doffing his cowboy hat, he dives into the lake. Meanwhile John sees what is unfolding and jumps into his highpowered,heavily modified golf cart, and heads towards the lake. Swinging his lasso above, he lets it fly and the loop settles next to Tom... Anyway that is just awesome. Its very cool when you know who the heros are. We already know they are great people. | ||
