Smart Glasses Documented the Story: How a Girl Survived Drowning in Sidi Kacem, Morocco?
A Moroccan content creator shared a video captured by smart glasses that documented the dramatic rescue of a girl who nearly drowned after a traumatic incident involving a tractor during recent floods in Sidi Kacem.
In a recent event during severe flooding in the Sidi Kacem region of Morocco, content creator Hamid Achkar captured a remarkable rescue of a young girl using smart glasses. The video, which was not immediately accessible due to damage to the glasses, showcases the frightening moments when the tractor the girl was on capsized, leading to her perilous situation. Achkar explained that while he was focused on assisting in the rescue, the camera in the glasses recorded from an angle he did not witness during the incident.
The floods, attributed to heavy rainfall, affected many areas in northern Morocco, leading to the evacuation of thousands of residents. The footage shared on social media depicts the intense fear experienced by the tractor's passengers, particularly the young girl, who was surrounded by rising water. As local communities grapple with the aftermath of the flooding, the video serves as a poignant reminder of the risks posed by such natural disasters and the importance of community support in crisis situations.
The story has resonated widely on social media, highlighting not only the power of technology in capturing real-time events but also the human bravery exhibited during emergencies. It underscores a collective responsibility toward disaster preparedness and response, as families begin to recover and return home after the floods, sharing their experiences and the lessons learned from this harrowing incident.
