Young Boy Rescues Brother Trapped Under Furniture

On one recent morning in the American state of Utah, 2-year-old twin boys Bowdy and Brock were playing in their bedroom.

The boys were trying to get into some empty drawers and climb to the top of the dresser.

But as they both tried to climb up, the large dresser fell down on top of them. The accident was recorded on a camera that the boys’ parents put in the bedroom.

One of the young boys, Bowdy, managed to escape from under the dresser. But his brother, Brock, was still stuck under it.

The video shows Bowdy walking around the dresser trying to find a way to free his brother. Almost two minutes pass. But Bowdy cannot move the dresser.

Eventually, though, Bowdy found a way to push the dresser toward the wall. His brother was then able to roll out from underneath the big piece of furniture. Both boys are okay. They were not hurt.
