    A video from YouTuber Patricia Pink shows a terrifying series of events in which four men and a child are attempting to unclog a large storm drain.

    The boy begins to jump on the branches that are clogging the large drain in an attempt to push them through, but once they’re freed, he and one of the men also go along for the ride.

    Fortunately, both the child and the man made it through the storm drain, which ran underneath a dirt road. Pink said in a YouTube comment that the two escaped with just a few bruises, according to a Google translation from Portuguese to English.

    For ten years (1969-1979), Diana Nyad was known as the greatest long-distance swimmer in the world. In 1979, she stroked the then-longest swim in history, making the 102.5-mile journey from the island of Bimini (Bahamas) to Florida. At the age of 64, in her fifth and final attempt, Diana Nyad successfully fulfilled her lifelong dream of completing the 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida on September 2, 2013. Upon completing her grueling 53 hour journey, a breathless Nyad told the world,“I have three messages. One is we should never ever give up. Two is you are never too old to chase your dreams. And three is it looks like a solitary sport but it takes a team.”
