“Words can’t describe it. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it,' Jeremiah Cribb said of his good fortune in the nightmare
The department said he was rescued after a 45-minute mission, which involved firefighter Jacob Vodochodsky rappelling off the bridge.
When Vodochodsky got to Cribb, he feared he may have been paralyzed, and gave him a pinch on the leg that he luckily was able to feel, the firefighter told WSOC.“He didn’t know what happened. He had no clue where he was at. We shared a couple of personal moments and let him know he was alright. We kept telling him he was doing great and we’d get him out of here,” Vodochodsky told WBTV.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.” Multiple agencies reportedly assisted in the rescue, including the Millers Ferry Fire Department, the Salisbury Fire Department, Rowan County Rescue Squad and Davidson County emergency workers.
