I'm so glad that the gentleman is alright, but what happened to the truck, was it just left there, its like the story wasn't finished just saying.

The article states that Mr Gray was underwater for at least a minute, yet when you look at photo # 6 in the gallery, it appears that his clothes are dry ( otherwise the sleeve would be clinging to his skin, and the khaki pants would also be stuck to his legs ). I'm confused!

Sue, there is something that as invented in the 19 hundreds, it's called a towel.

Great story wonderful results. There are always the usual snide remarks about the Guardian from the peanut gallery of course. Just shows they hang on to everything the Guardian prints. I wonder if they perform as brilliant at their own jobs. Or if they even have jobs?? The way they criticize others doing theirs.

A possibly tragic accident was averted..kudos to the quick thinking and action on Don and Wayne's part. Everett... your number's not up yet, so get out and enjoy! Yet all you commenters can talk about is the quality of the freaking photographer. Are you people for real???

Anyone can buy an expensive Nikon D300, but that does not make a photographer a pro. A lot of top line pros carry point and shoots, but that does not make them amateurs.

So thankful for the quick thinking of Wayne & Don and that Uncle Everett is well and out of hospital.

Great story, great ending, and great coverage by The Guardian. This is how news should be covered - reporter on the spot with iPhone tweeting initial details and photos, bystanders contributing their pictures, staff photographer arriving with the pro camera to photograph the happy ending!

Great ending to what could have been a tragedy. Luckily no one panicked and got him out quickly
Sue, you sure are confused!
