On January 25, 2026, in Makhachkala, Dagestan, Russia, a video captured a dramatic rescue in the October Revolution Canal. In the video, a Volkswagen Polo is seen drifting in the canal’s current as quick-thinking bystanders climb onto a crossbeam and position themselves to intercept the vehicle. When the car drifts close enough, the driver carefully passes a child through an open window to one of the rescuers. With coordinated effort, the mother and child are then safely pulled to shore, highlighting a swift and courageous community response.
