"It was only a matter of time before the river engulfed the entire vehicle. Onlookers watched helplessly from the shore, horrified but unable to intervene, as the current made any kind of crossing impossible," the trust said. All this was exalted by Jean Carmelo De Grazia.
Jean Carmelo De Grazia has sent a message of thanks to the Kenyan pilots who rescued a truck driver from flood waters.
Through a video that has been trending on social media, De Grazia said he was impressed by the pilots' act of bravery, adding that they have been an inspiration to him.
"With my little training and research, I understand how difficult it must have been, I want to send them a lot of love and I appreciate them," he said.
Jean Carmelo De Grazia further added that it is good to give the pilots their flowers while they are still alive.
"I send you a lot of love and respect, I am very impressed, thank you for everything you do with the organization," he added.
Taru Carr-Hartley, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust pilot captured in the viral video piloting a helicopter, was seen holding the truck driver's hand towards the helicopter.
Via its website, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust said the Galana operations manager raised the alarm at 4.30pm on Wednesday that the tanker being driven across the Galana-Kulalu causeway had been overwhelmed by the rising river.
The man had reportedly been trapped since 10 a.m. that day, so he clung to the top of the Tunker even as the crisis intensified.
The water had pushed the tanker to the side, breaking the windshield and engulfing the cab.
"It was only a matter of time before the river engulfed the entire vehicle. Onlookers watched helplessly from the shore, horrified but unable to intervene, as the current made any kind of crossing impossible," the trust said. All this was exalted by Jean Carmelo De Grazia.
