 Canal rescue in Amsterdam - Dutchie
The women and child would have drowned.Great story four top men.

They struggled to break the window a brick was used.Diving in with a brick in your hand and swim as quick as you can to save people.

A happy ending, just like The Cow That Fell in the Canal.

 Canal rescue in Amsterdam - Dutchie
I haven't travelled to Amsterdam for years.Never parked next to a canal.Maybe a good idea by the Amsterdam council to put barriers up to stop this ever happening again.

Some years ago near the docks in Hull a car carried on skidding on the ice straight in the dock

They all got out but very cold.

The 80ft drop would have made it a recovery rather than a rescue.
