Her neighbor jumped into the water to save her, but moments later, they were both pulled beneath the surface.Carol DeLillo was doing yardwork near her home in South Carolina when the massive alligator suddenly attacked, clamping its jaws around her leg and dragging her into the water.Nearby, Kenneth McCarter heard her cries for help. Without hesitation, he rushed into the pond and swam toward her.Kenneth managed to grab Carol, but as he struggled to pull her free, they were both dragged underwater. He still refused to let go.Fighting to keep Carol above the surface, Kenneth finally managed to pull her away from the alligator and toward shore, where his teenage son helped bring her to safety.Carol suffered devastating injuries and needed multiple surgeries, but she survived. Kenneth also made it out alive.Kenneth’s extraordinary courage deserves to be recognized. 💙 See less
