Woman w/Dog in car goes under water Louisiana flood

Get the tissues ready as three men try and save a woman from drowning in the recent flooding in Louisiana. After they save her she tries to go back down to save her dog and they stop her saying the dogs gone.

Note how one man tries to break window with what looks like a sledge hammer and the window will NOT break?

I bough a small key fob that fits on my key chain that when pressed against a car window and activated will shatter the window in seconds. It also can cut a seat belt off. Something to look into if you don't already have one. :C

  • I carry one in all my vehicles that has the following:

    Digital air pressure guage
    Seat belt cutter
    Window breaker
    flashlight

    I paid about $10 for mine, but don't remember where I got it. Amazon has a similar one for $23

    I actually found mine at a Loves Truck Stop. Just make sure it is the RESQME brand name on it. There's a lot of junk ones out there too that don't work.



    Cosco has them, but then again you have to buy 4 of them from that mega store! But you do get lanyard clips and visor clips with each one. :B I do have one for all vehicles. I have separate key chains for the toad, MH and personal vehicle.

  • A few years back I gave my son, DIL, and grandkids that are old enough to drive, one of the resq me key ring things. Cuts the seatbelt and will break a window. It's some5hing you hope you'll ever need, but if you need it, it could save a life. Kids are at the age you don't know what to buy them. So I"ve been getting things like this instead of stuff they may never wear or use. So far they've liked all the ideas I've come up with.

  • That is being broadcast in the news on a couple of TV stations.

    Thank God for her and the dog's rescuers. She is one loyal dog lover who still thinks of her dog while her own live was in such danger. :)

    Loyal companion dogs deserve to be rescued too, if possible. ;)
  • I think it's a boat hook. In any case that is one tough window. I know where you can buy a real cheap Miata.
