A nightmare scenario turned into a miracle-like rescue in Colorado on Sunday. Four children were playing on a frozen pond in Arapahoe County when three fell in and were submerged in the frigid water. Fortunately, a good Samaritan was nearby and saved the children before it was too late.
The children, ages 4 to 11 years old, were playing on the icy pond at The Addison at Cherry Creek apartments, CBS Denver reports. Dusti Talavera, who lives at the apartment complex, was looking out her window when she saw the kids fall in.
Talavera, 23, said she did not hesitate to put on her shoes and rush to the pond, which is 15 feet deep. "Before I realized it, I was on the pond pulling the two kids out, and that's when I fell in the pond for the third kid," Talavera said during a press conference on Monday.
