"Hege Dalen and her partner Toril Hansen were eating supper in the camping area opposite Utoya island when they started hearing gunshots and screaming….
Dalen and Hansen drove their boat to the island, and fished out of the water people who were in shock and young people who were injured and transported them ashore. Every now and then bullets almost hit the boat.
Since they couldn’t fit everyone into the boat all at once, they returned to the island four times. They might have saved as much as forty people from the clutches of the killer."

I believe this is a translation from Finnish, so the writing might be a little less than perfect.

If you go to the link, you can have Google Chrome translate the whole article for you.

1. Wow. I've seen combat veterans who weren't that brave and cool-headed.

These ladies deserve every kind of kudo they can be given.

2. Indeed, and I have not seen a THING about this in the American press!

Surely at least Fox News will cover this! RIGHT?

Very brave women, period!

I don't use the word hero much as it's meaning has been diluted so much in the good ole usa. These people are true heroes.

11. There were at least two civilian boats, this and one run by one gentleman,

which went to the island repeatedly and saved young people. It was enormously courageous of them. The best of humanity in the face of the worst.
