T ABC TV is reporting it's three 22 yr old men. Old enough to know better.

thurmontUser2063203001Feb 6 at 5:12 PM

Oh and one more thing they should give him a ticket they don't know how they put other people's lives in danger trying to save them

@thurmontUser2063203001 I kinda agree like isnt that technically wreckless endangerment of rescue personnel? Don’t give them a life ruining charge but like a fine at least something to hammer home that their actions have consequences for other people not just themselves.

chefkat646Feb 6 at 6:47 PM

They have no idea how lucky they are to be rescued.
