Friends prevented an overweight fisherman from drowning in a Thai swamp

The operation to remove an obese thrill-seeker who had climbed into a swampy pond in Chiang Mai province was captured several months ago by one of the eyewitnesses of the strange incident.

A video that truly demonstrates the difficult work of dragging a hippopotamus out of a swamp, from Chukovsky’s well-known poem, was recently posted on social networks.

The author of the video did not specify how the rescue operation ended, the video of which attracted the attention of over two million people.
