Couple And Dogs Rescued From Truck Dangling Off Idaho Bridge | NBC Nightly News

1. Glad they are ok!

2. I remember when the government changed the maximum strength on the safety chains. I can't remember how it went but they required that anything that was from towing a vehicle or being used as a safety chain must stand a certain 10,000 per?. The old chains were very light and even pulling a car down the road would break. I'm sure these people in the pickup were happy they had the good ones.

3. Does anyone know how this couple is doing?

4. I wood of freaked out.OMG..😳😳😳😳💙💜💛💚❤

5. We just saw one of God's Miracles amen

6. Nice photo of the chains! The trailer had BEEFY chains with excellent attachment, compared to some.
   I’ve seen too many swing set sized chains, chains twisted to take up slack because they were too long and dragged, chains too short and extended with carabiners or weak nutted links. Chains welded to the tongue haphazardly or bolted incorrectly.
   You’ve all seen this. We’ve all considered it.
   People PLEASE check your equipment.
   It could save your life or someone else’s.
   These chains are, without a doubt, the reason these people are alive today.
   And the Trucker and Emergency Responders are Hero’s!

7. CMC’s equipment used by the firefighters. 👍

8. I posted the link to their go fund me, but my comment was deleted. The Go fund me page literally has a link for YouTube, so why is it being deleted?

9. Amazing. WOW

10. The couple are now homeless. They were traveling and that was their home. They lost the trailer, the truck and all their belongings. There is a go fund me set up apparently. Could NBC find and post the link please?

11. Ummm, we r in a lot of trouble; if you have it Or Not! … @t

12. This report completely leaves out the semi trucker who stopped and looked over and then hooked spare chains from his rig around the hitch. They were not found by law enforcement at all. That trucker saved the day. Gotta love shoddy reporting.

13. I want to know who manufactured that chain!

14. What if ???
    – They weren’t towing the hitch?
    – the trucker didn’t have spare chains or didn’t stop?
    – the trooper was 10 minutes down the road?
    – the special operations team wasn’t standing by at that exact moment?

    This was a miracle.

15. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was the backseat driver's fault….turn here, no HERE!!!
    In all seriousness, glad all were ok!

16. We need more heroic stories like these to brighten up our days of just sad news. Bravo and hats off to the rescue crew!

17. Thank You God!
    You perform miracles every day!
    Praise God.🌷

18. Hooray for the first responders and to the man who first CHAINED that pick up to the back of his own truck!!!!!!!!!

19. How did they end up like that?! The railing wasn't even broken!

20. Talk about a chain reaction, lol.

21. Arf, arf…

22. Bet they needed new underwear after that

23. Wow, heroes ! So scary too.

24. Dude i was having a terrible week because my dog passed away, but this release gave me a nice relief, I'm truly thankful guys keep it up! XOXO

25. I am thoroughly impressed . Bravo to all involved , those are heroes in every sense .

26. Praise God everyone is ok and their little doggies too. Thank you Lord for brave and courageous people who risk their lives to save others. 🙏🙏🙏

27. 🙏🙏🙏

28. GOD bless our servicemen and Servicewomen..

29. Bravo

30. I'm a Brit and I love NBC News with Lester. Wow the rescuers really are Heros. So relieved the couple and their dogs are safe. 👏👏👏

31. Emergency responders wear…. Jeans and flannel? Were they off duty? Seems I've been mislead by TV shows once again.

    (main point here is that a rescue was made, tho.)

32. I still want to know how it got there in the first place

33. Wow!! They were lucky they had the camper attached that day!!

34. Wonder who makes them ⛓ chains? I want one.

35. And yet, there are Leftist/BLM/ANTIFA idiots that want to defund the police.

36. my dad was there rock creek fire and magic valley paramedics

37. It was not their time.

38. This was a news story and it was a total win

39. Who made the chain??? We need to know!!!

40. Did he really just say that?
    "The heroic rescue, less a miracle – and more a reflection of the training, teamwork, and dedication of those who serve"
    I am not discounting the training, teamwork, and dedication of the heroes in the story, but to say that it was not really a miracle is just plain asinine. They're definitely was a higher power present here helping both the rescuers and the accident victims.

41. That’s a miracle, folks. I wish they’d showed a video clip of the rescue, though…

42. Breakdown! 😉

43. Thanks God

44. What a hearty scoop… Amazing story…. Much better…👀

45. Voter fraud happened🇻🇳🖕 space ghost👻🇺🇸🙏

46. Angel holding the car

47. My dog covered his eyes watching this.
