Brave police officers rescue driver from sinking car after driving into pond

by



Several police officers in Orlando, Florida, jumped into a retention pond to rescue a person whose car was sinking in the water on Sunday, August 6, footage released by police shows.

A man had driven over an embankment while navigating the corner of an on-ramp, police said and was struggling to free himself from the vehicle when officers arrived. Several officers got in the water to break the window and pull the man to safety before the car sank, police said.

Bodycam footage shows several officers jumping into the water to rescue the victim, before other officers pulled them all to safety with a rope. Officers can be heard confirming that there were no other people in the car.

  15. How Human Nature Works

    Human nature is the desire to receive, also called “desire to enjoy,” and it functions by receiving what is beneficial to itself and rejecting what is harmful. Everything in our lives is built upon this calculation where we first try to distance ourselves from harm, and then seek how to draw ourselves closer to what is beneficial.

    Human nature also includes a multilayering of systems that work simultaneously on still, vegetative, animate and human levels. One of those systems is our bodily one, which operates involuntarily. If our bodies are healthy, then they know what is good for them and draw that goodness to themselves. After the bodily system, there is the emotional system, which also functions relatively according to instinct. From the emotional system, we move to the mind, and from the mind to the intellect, and so on. That is, we have systems over systems that concurrently work on receiving what is beneficial and rejecting what is harmful.

    Such is human nature and the essence of our lives. Our every desire, thought and action operates according to the calculation, “How can we receive what is most beneficial to us and reject what is harmful?”
