- 7 years ago
Incredible footage has emerged from Houston, Texas of residents making a human chain to help rescue a woman in labour from Harvey flood waters.
The woman started going into labour in the middle of Hurricane Harvey, according to the filmer Molly Akers.
The woman's husband tried to contact 911, but when they couldn't reach emergency responders, they sent out an email to members of their apartment complex, asking if any residents were obstetricians or nurses.
Soon after, neighbours began to fill the couple's apartment building, searching for any way to help.
After more than an hour, Houston Fire Department emergency workers showed up to rescue the woman.
Neighbours then made a human chain as a way to safely escort the woman and her husband to the emergency workers' truck.
