What happens

The Flood: Who Will Save Our Children? is a 1993 American television film, starring Joe Spano, David Lascher and Michael A. Goorjian. It was directed by Chris Thomson and written by Donna Kanter and David J. Kinghorn. The movie is based on a real-life event that occurred on July 17, 1987, when a group of people was swept up by a flash flood on the Guadalupe River near the city of Comfort. At the time, it was the worst flood of the Guadalupe River since 1932. Ten people died, including a teenager who fell from a helicopter while being rescued when the rope broke. Of the ten fatalities, one body was never found. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
