This kid is just absolutely incredible. So calm and concise.
Absolutely incredible from this intelligent, determined young man. Just wow
I dont get why disney is not giving him finding memo merch.
He said he kept saying “Just Keep Swimming”
Yet the lady who sang “Im Such a happy Chewbacca” got all the stuff from Kohls.
How composed was this little tacker?
What a legend of a young man! Full credit to him, and those who guide him while he is growing up.
“I should also say, I need an ambulance, I think I have hypothermia.”
Fucking hell, I’m in tears. What an absolute champion.
I had to make a 000 call once and wasn’t as articulate or calm as this kid. this MAN.
Wow. That’s intense.
He really is a deadset legend.
I am seriously impressed with young Austin. What he did was just extraordinary and incredibly brave; well beyond the capability of most adults. His determination and perseverance saved his family from drowning. I wish him well and feel certain he will have a wonderful future. He’s amazing.
He’s a legend, but I’ve got to wonder if his brain is broken like Alex Honnold’s? Kid has 0 fear. Offhandedly mentions he might have hypothermia. Goes into the minuet…Just wild while his body is broken and his family is treading water at sea.
He is the Australian of the year!
He has a go fund me.
