See images and video from the dramatic helicopter rescue of two men trapped in a flooded creek bed

The beauty of living in a country where services work is that even in the most dire circumstance, help is just a phone call away.

Amazing footage from Rural Metro Fire Department in Phoenix, Arizona captured the moment a helicopter swept in to rescue two men who were trapped in their SUV on a flooded river bed.

The driver had tried to pass a creek bed that is usually clear but unknown to him, it was flooded following heavy rains the night before.

The men called the fire department when they became stuck in rushing, shallow water around 8am.
Emergency crews rushed in, some by helicopter, to pull the men from the SUV.

Two hours later at 10.15am, the two were safely extracted from their vehicle safe and sound without injuries.

Oyibo too much. We love to have things done like this in my country but due to high degree of godlessness, we lack the discipline to conserve our wealth to enable us achieve this. Rather we have allowed our unbridled greed to amass wealth turn us into a nation of thieves of our national wealth. Very little sense of accountability in our leaders, so everybody to himself and God for us all. Primitive reasoning. It's a shame.

People pay their taxes in these countries and the officials don't embezzle the money. That's why services works!!!
