A two-year-old baby was rescued by Brazilian Army soldiers through the roof of a house in Bom Retiro do Sul, in the Vale do Taquari region, this Friday (3). In addition to him, four other people who lived in the same house were removed from the scene in a helicopter and taken to a safe location.
The rescue was carried out by the second sergeant of the Brazilian Army, Andrwis Victor Nunes, and the images were recorded by the body camera of third sergeant Lucas Ferreira Leite. They are part of a group that left São Paulo to help with rescues in RS. Look above.
The number of deaths caused by floods in Rio Grande do Sul reached 56 in the latest update released by the state government, this Saturday (4). As a result, the number of victims exceeded the total of the last environmental tragedy in RS, in September 2023, when 54 people died.
The images show that the soldier had to use a brick to open a hole in the roof and rescue the group. According to GZH, the rescue site was difficult to access and there were fears that the wind from the helicopter could knock the family down or blow away tiles.
