HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
As they opened the front door of their apartment, 3 ft of water instantly

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL SCRIPT:
As they opened the front door of their apartment, 3 ft of water instantly rushed in. You see, a hurricane had hit their city, causing devastating floods. So, they quickly ran upstairs to a neighbor's second floor apartment for safety. But while waiting out the storm, the boy got a call from a friend who was trapped and couldn't swim. So, he immediately swam over to his friend's house, grabbed an air mattress, and used it as a raft to guide him through the flooded streets. Now, he went on to save 16 more people using that same air mattress. And for his courage, he was later honored as a true hometown hero.
