A SHOCKING TALE Published Dec. 20, 2010 By Darrell Carruth Via e-mail -- That's an amazing story you featured in the July/August 2010 Torch on your cover ("A Narrow Escape," page 16). I was shocked when I read that the victim had been under water for more than five minutes and they still managed to save his life with no long-lasting ill effects. I'm surprised he didn't suffer from brain damage or worse. Kudos to his rescuers who acted quickly and never gave up on reviving him even when it seemed so hopeless. That's a great lesson learned.
