The woman rescued from her stranded car
by a human chain in severe flooding in Maryland at the weekend has
reportedly met and thanked the man who organised the rescue effort and
carried her to safety.
Jamie Knight,
29, has been revealed as the person in the car in the dramatic cellphone
footage shot of the flooding in Ellicott City on Saturday.
And
Jason Barnes, who owns nearby story All Time Toys, was named as the man
who risked his life, fell into the rushing waters before regaining his
footing and carrying Ms Knight to safety.
During a reunion filmed by local television station WUSA9,
Ms Knight and Ms Barnes met for the first time after she had previously
expressed a desire to meet her then anonymous rescuer and tell him 'I
really owe you'.
Ms Knight told him: 'Thank you so much.'
Mr Barnes responded: 'Not a problem. It was the decent thing to do.'
But Mr Barnes has jokingly revealed the welcome was not as warm when he returned home to his wife.
