People were refusing to go ahead. At such condition, I could control and wait for another order, I just stepped ahead and entered the water flow as I thought I can’t just order anyone until I initiate helping the people. As soon as I started rescuing the people, they came ahead and did same. One person’s imitative can really make a huge difference. People were gathered to watch the scenario, but this crowd should have come ahead to help.”
