Joseph Diener, 16, and Dominic Viet, 15, were exploring their hometown of Columbia, Missouri, on Friday to survey the damage after a massive rainfall flooded parts of the city.
The two, along with a few other friends, were biking when all of a sudden, they heard someone calling for help.
“We didn’t know if they were serious or not,” Joseph explained. “She said it twice before we got over there.”
The group of teens saw a woman in a bathing suit, clinging to a basketball hoop that was nearly entirely submerged in the floodwaters.
