Rescuers attempt to save four men on boat at dam

Footage captured a dramatic rescue of four men clinging to a ski-boat precariously perched on the edge of a 130ft-high dam in Standerton, South Africa. The boat drifted to the spill wall of the Vaal River due to a suspected mechanical failure, prompting a multi-agency rescue operation. Rescuers opened sluice gates to divert water and safely retrieved the men, who were unharmed. All were wearing life jackets when they were pulled to safety after hours of tense waiting.
