Peyton Hillis talks about saving his son and niece in an interview on 'Good Morning, America.'
Hillis, 37, made the comments Tuesday during anon ABC’s “Good Morning, America” in which he recalled having to rush into the Atlantic Ocean to help his 9-year-old son, Orry, and 8-year-old niece, Camille. Both children began struggling after they were caught in a rip current in the water in Pensacola, Fla.“So I didn’t even think, I just reacted and started running to the water,” Hillis said.
“I think the scariest point to me was when I’m swimming to my son and I have to pass by him because my niece is in more danger,” Hillis says during the interview. “But I knew that I had to pass him up to get to Camille first because, you know, if I didn’t then there’s no way she would’ve made it.” He says a man reached him with a boogie board and he put his niece and sister on the board, then went back out to get his son. He says by the time he reached him “he was pretty much limp” because of exhaustion.
“You’re just thinking, ‘Lord, please ... I really don’t care about my life,” he said. “But if we can get him out of here then that’s the only thing I’m going to care about.”
