Video: Applause greets Thai hero as young boy saved from drowning in Germany

 

 

Further details have emerged of the incident in Germany when a 7-8 year old foreign boy was saved by a Thai man working in the country.

 

The hero of the hour was named as Nong Khai native Mack Ruchanon.

 

He saw the boy fall into the water at a submarine museum called Maritim Museum  Peenemunde. 

 

A submarine with the number U461 was in the background as Mack brought the boy to the safety of a harbor support before a raft completed the rescue.

 

Applause broke out as people watching - including a person who appeared to be the boy's grateful mother - congratulated the Thai for his efforts.

 

Online more than 2 million people viewed the video and read the story praising the Thai hero.

 

The story was posted on the Facebook page of Suchai Phatong.

Great man who took action while others were filming.
The choice to be eligible for a EU-state citizenship, I would agree.
 But maybe he'd rather be Thai. 

Refreshing to see a positive story on here! Good bloke, well done sir!

Way to go, young man,..... 

Good on you mate.

Well done...but I have a sneaking suspicion, that we are running low on "good taxi driver delivers a pot of gold back to a customer", if we now need to go to stuff, happening in Germany...

But still: well don! 

Well done good man, but am I the only one wondering why the boy cant swim?? slack parenting on mom and dads behalf ?

Quite unusual for a Thai to be able to swim also, unique circumstances!
