Virginia Howard, Cory Prox and Tom Mitchell were three of the many who stopped to rescue the Ocheltree family from their flipped vehicle after tornadoes and floodwaters almost took their lives on Saturday.
The video of the miracle rescue has been viewed over 18 million times. Though it’s stressful to watch, there’s something absolutely beautiful about it.
Perhaps it’s their relentless effort to remove the family of four from the upside-down death trap. Or that they sprung into action—performing CPR on 4-month-old Marshal and 18-month-old Addy.
For many viewers, the most powerful moment of the chaotic video was when Tom Mitchell was performing CPR on Marshal, and Virginia Howard began to pray over the children.
