An unusual event unfolded in the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan when a car crossing the Nura River suddenly sank through the ice. Inside the vehicle were two women, including a pregnant woman, and two small children. A 21-year-old man, Orazaly Asylkhanov, was traveling with them in the cabin and emerged as an unexpected rescuer when danger struck.
The husband and father-to-be leaped from the car and launched a rapid effort to save the others. He smashed the rear door window and began pulling out a pregnant woman who was his fiancée. He then carried out another passenger and her two babies, all while instincts pushed him forward in the harsh cold and danger.
“He brought out a one-year-old baby and a girl about five years old. She was unconscious. He remained calm, administered first aid, and helped resuscitate the children as best as he could”, eyewitnesses reported.
Today, the young man remains in the hospital with suspected pneumonia. He downplays the act, refusing to call himself a hero and instead framing it as a normal male reflex to protect loved ones.
“I don’t think there’s anything heroic about it. This is the natural reaction of any man. Now my fiancée and I are in the hospital, we have a high fever at night. The doctors say we might have pneumonia. I hope we will recover before the wedding”, said the brave groom.
