Great video Linda...captures all the drama of the event. I'm so proud of our village people and how we can pull together in a situation like this!

Wow! That was incredible to see. And south Africans are magic people! So nice to see people helping people (and pets). Thanks for posting.

Great stuff Linda. What an awesome 'trailer' sitting here in our flat in Hong Kong waiting for the Super 15 final to start! Will be there in two weeks time may need to hire a 4WD to get in though? Can't wait.

fantastic footage - photographic journalist in the making!!
nothing like comunity spirit - love it when a plan comes together. WELL DONE ALL.

Brilliant footage, you must have spent hours out there. You really captured the true stories as they unfolded. Well done to all the wonderful people who helped on that day! Amazing stuff!
Two questions: Was this just one camera's footage? What camera is it filmed on?

[@adrian_hart]

Well done to the Guys in Orange. Not sure who they are. No wait !..... everyone by the looks of it. But nevertheless, awesome job guys. and tremendous inspiration from the female commentary (Linda?) This is how a community can work.

very sad to see a bridge collapse and the impact it must have on so many lives

Great community spirit!
(That water must have been freezing cold!)

Well if this isn't a lesson in "back to basics", bridge is gone, do as our ancestors always did, ford the stream on foot.
