The car was 80 feet down a steep ravine overturned with husband and wife and teenage daughter trapped inside. The cadets saw it happen, stopped, and slid down the ravine and pulled the people out.
The thing I found interesting in their story is they acted first, got to the car and then got scared from not knowing what to do. Apparently nothing in their training prepared them for this scenario. But then with the family safe in the cadet's car the first thing the boys wanted to do is pray. They asked the family if that would be okay. That gets me. I would already be praying. That would happen automatically individually. My thoughts would all be about thanking God and all the invisible agencies that influenced to make it possible for the family to be rescued so fast and so efficiently. But to do that praying as a group never occurs to me. It's a good idea. It's something my brothers and sisters would think of.

The story says the cadets helped the family up the ravine after they had pulled them out of the car. It doesn't say the cadets carried them up. That's amazing. Apparently the occupants of the car still had at least partial use of their legs after the 80 foot fall.
