“I shouted” don’t do, Manneke! “, But he still jumped in the water”: Henso (32) and Dirk (60) Saving child (4) from drowning in Willebroek

They see it differently, but what Henso Dekoninck (32) and Dirk van Grootven (60) have performed is nothing less than a heroic act. On Tuesday, the two employees of waste manager Ivarem saved a 4-year-old child from the drowning death on the Zeekanaal in Willebroek. The boy had climbed under the balustrade and had lowered himself into the water, but was dragged by the current. “You can’t blame the parents much,” the two men say.
