Two children saved from drowning - with a pocket-knife
Chris Jamieson from Urenui, New Zealand, shows the Swiss Army Officer’s Knife with which he saved the lives of two children in April 1997 (taken 27 April 1997).
Jamieson saw a van leave the road and fall into the Awakino river. Thinking on his feet, he threw himself into the river and rescued the family of five. Two children in the back seat were trapped by their seat belts. They had to be cut free using the Swiss Officer’s Knife. Jamieson, a student, was hailed as a hero by the New Zealand police. The real «star» of the rescue, however, was the Swiss knife made by Victorinox. |
