"The Touch of Life"

Suspended over the fast-flowing Des Moines river, Jason Oglesbee was lowered towards the unnamed 60year-old, who was floundering after her boat capsized. He managed to grab her hand and drag her from the water, carrying her to a rescue boat.

Rescuers also pulled a man aged around 60, who had been in the same boat as the woman, from the river in Iowa but he had drowned.
