Joseph Diener, 16, and Dominic Viet, 15, were exploring their hometown of Columbia, Missouri, on Friday to survey the damage after a massive rainfall flooded parts of the city.
The two, along with a few other friends, were biking when they heard someone calling for help.
“We didn’t know if they were serious or not,” Joseph explained. “She said it twice before we got over there.”
The teens saw a woman in a bathing suit, hanging onto a basketball hoop that was almost submerged in water.
The two took “about 30 seconds” to realize they had to take action, Joseph said.
