Pensacola's Asaih Williams, 9, pulled his father to the shore after a neck fracture
"All I remember was that he said he broke his neck and he said he was scared," Asaih Williams tells the Pensacola News Journal. The 9-year-old was recounting the moments after his father, Joshua, fractured his neck while diving into shallow water. Joshua emerged from the bottom of the Santa Rosa Sound on his stomach, unable to turn over, and Asaih—despite a 100-pound weight difference—managed to flip him onto his back so he wouldn't drown, per the AP. Then he slowly tugged his father to shore, with bystanders helping in the final stages.
