Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
- Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

The guy has Elijah Wood vibes
Massive eyes that are a lighter blue than you normally see.
I am happy for him. It's not often you get a chance to make a difference like that.
These last two and the next few days will be the sacrifice he doesn't know he is making until 10-20 years from now.
Your rescues will fade in time, but you can never forget your recoveries.
How do you mean sacrifice?
My guess would be mental health.
Your rescues will fade in time, but you can never forget your recoveries. [emphasis mine]
“Recoveries” likely means finding the people who didn’t survive.
Unfortunately, this is very true. I've been out longer than I was in, and I remember the losses not the wins.
Edit: the one 'win' I remember, we got a letter from a lady 2 years after the event. She wrote to us to thank us for getting daughter to the trauma center alive....so that the doctors could harvest her organs, and mom was able to hear her daughter's heart beating in someone else's chest a year later.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
That's very interesting to hear, thank you for sharing.
fuuuck
Broadfern is 100% correct.
What was Ruskan’s role in the rescue?
He was in charge of triage and helped coordinate the evacuation of people from a flooded summer camp.
What is hopeposting about this?

Yeah it’s a fine line at this point.
Where is this pool in a giant tent with high top bar tables?
Probably a Texas city, where it actually gets too hot for outdoor pools in the summer.
Looks like a public pool that may have been sold or rented out to a private event company.
Now he gets 100% of the ladies.
Yeah, looks like he had a rough time lol.
