RESCUE AT SEA: Fishermen Reunite With the Girl They Saved 35 Years Ago, the Sole Survivor of Six

When she says “I’m Desiree”.... everyone in the world starts crying 😢 10:09

There's nothing better in the world than watching two grown ass tough men crying with joy.

Desiree is my niece. I was 15 years old at the time when this tragedy struck. Losing my sister, my brother-in-law, and my 5 year old niece all at the same time was devastating to say the least. Desiree shared the initial podcast with me and I was excited to hear about the reunion. Watching this video brought me to tears. Brought back a lot of memories and emotions. I didn't realize Desiree remembered so many details. I never asked to spare her any pain of reliving that horrific time in her life. Hearing how my sister and the others passed played so differently in my head all these years due to the limited information we had. I have no doubt God steered these wonderful captains in her direction so she would survive. He had and has a purpose for her life. She is a special woman, wonderful mommy, and a great wife. I'm so proud of her and proud to call her my niece. Love you to pieces Des.

You can tell those two men have loved that little girl all of those years, wanting to know that she is ok.

that hug must’ve felt like the world for them 😭

My uncle was on this boat..Allen Wheeler, which was Desiree uncle as well. My middle name is named after him...Joseph Allen Wheeler... Thank you for saving her!!

As soon as he says "This is not a translator" the guys understand already. What a moment.

Desiree is my hero. What a strong what girl. What a strong woman. An amazing story.

god, the way she said "i remember my mom foaming at the mouth." the fact that she tried to save her uncle and couldn't hold on to him. that poor little girl had to watch them all pass away. i can't imagine.

Why do i punish myself by rewatching the "I'm Desiree" scene over and over and bawling my eyes out.

She grew up to be a beautiful women with a beautiful family, I’m feeling so thankful for the 2 fisherman’s , I’m glad they got to see her again.

Tiktok brought me here... and it was worth it! Beautiful story and reunion. Thank you for sharing your story 🥰

The faces of recognition at 9:59 it’s like if the world’s weight was lifted off their shoulders. One of the most beautiful full circle moments I’ve ever seen. What a privilege to hear her story FROM her, and an honor to meet these humble heroes. I hope they’ll get to live a fulfilling happy life

The fact that these guys tried so hard to find Desiree to see how she was after all these years and just know that she was ok speaks VOLUMES of the level of integrity and character that these two men have. Hero's certainly comes to mind when it describes these two and everyone else involved in the rescue.

Man how she kept it together the whole interview I’ll never know.

I am 66 years old and THIS is the BEST VIDEO. Just Amazing.

This one of those golden nuggets of youtube, what a beautiful thing that was.

it's amazing how Desiree controlled her emotion until she introduced herself to them..damn , such a heartfelt story . 😁

Absolutely crushing when she recalled each event. 😢 Unimaginable for an adult let alone a 9 year old.

She lost family but gained two more family members. I am just really glad they were able to meet each other while they still had the chance
