Teen Hero Swims 4 Hours to Save Family in Australia; Noida System Fails to Save Yuvraj

  • 13-year-old Austin Appleby swam for 4 hours in freezing Geographe Bay, Western Australia, to save his family from drowning after strong winds pushed them offshore.
  • Austin, on vacation with his mother Joan, brother Beau, and sister Grace, paddled his kayak, then swam to shore, covering 2 kilometers on foot to find help.
  • He informed the rescue team around 6 PM, providing the exact location, leading to his family's rescue by helicopter and boats within an hour.
  • In contrast, the 'system' in Noida failed to save Yuvraj, who died of cardiac arrest after being trapped in icy water for two hours, despite police, fire, and SDRF teams being present.
  • Austin's act of bravery, including removing his life jacket to swim faster, highlighted a stark contrast with the alleged lack of equipment and divers in the Noida incident.
