Saved by a human chain

Six members of one family struggled for their lives in the sea, after being caught in a rip current at Panama City Beach in Florida.

People on the beach formed a human chain in the sea to help rescue them. Jessica Simmons and her husband had stopped for dinner at the beach and saw people pointing at the water. Jessica tells the story of how she swam to their rescue.
