Bad hombres??? I just keep seeing Heroic Hombres
Two volunteer rescuers killed in Harvey floodwaters after bringing families to safety-
HOUSTON — On Monday morning, as floodwaters were rising fast in their neighborhood in northeast Houston, three brothers and two friends set off in a small boat to rescue anyone they could find.
In two trips, they brought two families — seven people in total — to safety, then went out a third time.
“Everybody told them to stay, that they had already done their part,” said Stepheny Jacquez, 25, a family member. “But they said, ‘No, we have to go back, there’s a lot of people in danger.’”
On their third trip out, around 3 p.m. Monday, they lost control of their boat in strong currents and drifted toward downed power lines throwing off sparks.
“They all jumped in the water and got electrocuted, and the current took them,” Jacquez said.
