فِي صَباحِ يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ، الثّامِنِ عَشَرَ مِنْ يُولْيُو/تَمُّوزَ، سَقَطَتْ سَيّارَةٌ فِي تَرْعَةٍ بِمُحافَظَةِ الْغَرْبِيَّةِ فِي مِصْرَ. وَكانَتْ أُسْرَةٌ دَاخِلَها، فَسارَعَ أَشْخاصٌ كانُوا قَريبِينَ إِلى الْمَكانِ لِمُساعَدَتِها.

وَقالَ أَحْمَدُ الْبَنّا، وَهُوَ أَحَدُ الْمُشارِكِينَ فِي الْإِنْقاذِ، إِنَّ شابًّا لَمْ تُعْرَفْ هُوِيَّتُهُ قَفَزَ أَوَّلًا إِلى الْماءِ. وَبَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ، شارَكَ الْبَنّا وَآخَرُونَ فِي إِخْراجِ أَفْرادِ الْأُسْرَةِ، وَأَلْقَى الْمَوْجودُونَ حِبالًا لِمُساعَدَتِهِمْ عَلَى الْوُصولِ إِلى الشّاطِئِ.

وَذَكَرَتْ تَقاريرُ صَحَفِيَّةٌ أَنَّ أَحَدَ الْمُنْقِذِينَ كَسَرَ زُجاجَ السَّيّارَةِ لِيَصِلَ إِلى مَنْ كانُوا بِداخِلِها. وَأُصيبَ فِي يَدِهِ أَثْناءَ الْعَمَلِ، وَلٰكِنَّهُ واصَلَ الْمُساعَدَةَ. وَخَرَجَ أَفْرادُ الْأُسْرَةِ بِسَلامٍ، وَنُقِلُوا لِلْفَحْصِ الطِّبِّيِّ.

وَبَعْدَ الْحادِثِ، انْتَشَرَتْ قِصَّةُ الْإِنْقاذِ عَلَى مَواقِعِ التَّواصُلِ. وَأَشادَ كَثيرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ بِشَجاعَةِ الشَّبّانِ وَتَعاوُنِ أَهالِي الْمِنْطَقَةِ. وَقالَ الْبَنّا إِنَّ الشّابَّ الَّذي نَزَلَ إِلى الْماءِ أَوَّلًا هُوَ الْبَطَلُ الْحَقيقِيُّ، لِأَنَّهُ تَصَرَّفَ بِسُرْعَةٍ دُونَ تَرَدُّدٍ.
