This US Coast Guard rescue swimmer is being hailed a hero after saving over 100 people from Texas flooding | CNN

It was Scott Ruskan’s first mission as a US Coast Guard rescue swimmer. The 26-year-old was new to the Coast Guard. He had left a previous career as an accountant before enlisting, and had graduated from rescue swimming school around six months ago when his team got the call from Task Force 1, a local search-and-rescue team in Texas, early Friday morning.
