Holy fuck, that’s amazing. That he managed it, and that they were found. Some youngfella for one youngfella.

He was so brave. A real hero. Good on him! I’m glad he’s alright and his family as well.

I heard the Mam speak and I don’t think it’s quite hit her yet. She spoke about having to accept that was it for her and the kids with her. And at the same time this hero probably didn’t make it.
I hope they get the support they’ll need.
