A brave navy sailor recently plunged into choppy waters to rescue four kittens from a burning ship off the coast of Thailand. 23-year-old Thatsaphon Saii received the emergency call and dove into the water while still wearing his pants to swim over to the wreckage. All eight crew members had already escaped the inferno and been picked up by a passing fishing boat. However, four terrified kittens were left behind. They moved to the bow and were left clinging to a crane structure as the flames rapidly engulfed the ship. Heroic Thatsaphon swam 50 feet through rough seas before he climbed aboard the sinking ship and put three cats into an old rice sack. The other kitten, he carried one on his shoulder.
