Watch as a Vietnamese helicopter crew bravely rescues a family of eight, including a young girl, trapped on their farm by unprecedented flooding in Son La. Rising floodwaters forced them onto the roof, necessitating a daring aerial extraction. This is the area's worst flood in 50 years.
According to witnesses, a family of 8, including 7 adults and a 7-year-old girl, were trapped in their family farm when the flood suddenly appeared. The flood water rose and forced everyone to move to the roof. The flood water rose up to 2 meters, making the rescue operation unsuccessful. The house could only be reached by helicopter. After 50 minutes, the helicopter appeared and took the 8 people away from the farm safely before the flood water submerged their farm. Heavy rains caused the area to suffer a flood that had not been seen in 50 years. There were 20 dead and missing. Many areas were completely isolated.
