A tourist became unexpectedly in a heroine by rescuing a man who was about to drown in a waterfall in Sri Lanka. The dramatic moment was captured on video and quickly spread to social networks, where many praised the courage of the woman.
The visitor was filming himself by the waterfall when the shouts of help caught his attention. Realizing that a man was struggling to surface without hesitation, he immediately plunged to help him. With effort, he managed to bring him to a safe zone, where, still visibly shaken, he thanked him.
The episode generated great repercussion, with some suggest that the government of Sri Lanka should honor the woman for her act of bravery. “The waterfalls are beautiful, but they can be fatal to those who have no experience,” said one user, underlining the importance of being cautious about swimming in places like this.
