In what is believed to be the most deadly flood since 1924, the state of Kerala finds itself in turmoil. The continuous and massive rainfall has led to unprecedented floods which have wreaked havoc in the state. Thousands of people have lost their lives and rescue operations are being conducted in full flow to bring back the state to normalcy.

The Indian Army has been a constant support for the people with their acts of recovery. Actors and other celebrities have also come forward to help.

However, among all the videos doing rounds on social platforms, one video of an Indian Navy man rescuing a child has got the internet cheering.

The video shows the brave act of a flight diver rescuing a kid from the roof of a house in Aluva, a region severely affected by the floods.
