On May 3, 1953, at the opening of the fishing season along the upper Sacramento River, Walter and Virginia Schau decided to take her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, out for a day of fishing. Virginia Schau brought along a Brownie camera that her sister had given to her some years back, although she said later: "I'm the kind of person who always takes a camera on a trip and never takes a picture." This had been the first time she had picked up the camera in over a year, the previous Mother's Day, and there were still two exposures left on the roll.

The Schaus and the Browns were driving on a two lane road approaching the Pit River Bridge north of the town of Redding, California behind a semitrailer from Portland, Oregon carrying fruits and vegetables. As the truck started over the bridge, the truck driver, Paul M. Overby, and his helper, Henry Baum, both of Portland, soon determined that something was wrong with the steering mechanism, but before they could stop, the steering failed. Overby lost control of the truck, which smashed through the bridge's steel railing.

The cab, with Overby and Baum trapped inside, was hanging off the bridge, 40 feet above the Sacramento River. The rear wheels of the cab were jammed between the side of the bridge and the trailer, which had miraculously remained on the bridge. Walter Schau, and the driver behind him, J. D. McLaren of Concord, California, stopped traffic, found a length of rope and with the help of other motorists, attempted to rescue Overby and Baum from the dangling cab. While Schau, McLaren and the others were working to save the lives of the truckers, Virginia Schau went to her car and got the camera and "ran out to a knoll on the right which was directly opposite to where the cab of the truck dangled in the air."

Walter Schau, hanging by his ankles, was able to lower the rope to Overby, who grabbed on to it and was pulled up by Schau, McLaren and others. Baum was still in the cab, semi-conscious, and when the cab caught fire, Walter Schau had to climb down and pull Baum out, before the cab, fully ablaze, fell into the Sacramento River. While the rescue operations were going on, Virginia Schau, from her vantage point, was able to get off two pictures, using the last two exposures in her camera. Schau's father reminded his daughter of the Sacramento Bee's weekly photo contest. She submitted the photograph, won the contest—and ten dollars—and the photograph was picked up by the Associated Press and distributed globally. Almost a year to the day later, Virginia Schau was "flabbergasted" to hear that her picture of the rescue had won the 1954 Pulitzer Prize for Photography.

Virginia Schau received a $1,000 cash award as the prize, as well as being paid by other news outlets for the use of the photographs. Interviews at the time she received the reward depict a bewildered, but happy, amateur, who modestly called herself "no photographer at all" who won a prize with her "little Brownie" camera. The money came in handy for defraying the hospital bill concerning the birth of her first-born child, a son.

I wonder how many bystanders would willingly climb into a burning cab dangling 3 storeys above a river to rescue someone with minimal safety gear. That man either has balls of steel or needed to look really good in front of the in-laws.

I think I remember that one was where the quarry workers kept telling the dude that putting a boulder in the truck bed was a bad idea but he kept insisting because gently caress you, I'm a Man with a Truck you can't tell me what I can't do. They obliged and that was the result.

I've witnessed the related forbidden technique of ladder on a lift. I told the foreman there was no way I'd go on that, so he did it himself. The safety guy told the foreman not to do it, the foreman overruled him, so he called the office and quit on the spot (got rehired 30 minutes later).

This very much reminds me of that video of Russian base jumpers who wanted to use a cable spanning a gorge to have a bit of fun. Their idea was to climb down it to the mid point and jump.

Only, they thought they could go hand over hand. Which did work until the guy started sliding and couldn't stop. I remember he seriously hosed up his gloves and hands.

And possibly pissed his pants.

Not that I blame him for that last part, just watching the video is frightening, I can't imagine how terrifying it must have been in reality.

This genuinely sent my anxiety through the roof, and the part where dropped the seat to hang by his legs upside on the wire, rocking back and forth triggered vertigo in me like nothing else.


Still, bet he felt exhilaration like nothing else when he landed safely.

The craziest part of this is trying to imagine what they were expecting in the best-case scenario. Climbing hand-over-hand for that long would have left their hands and arms completely exhausted for the jump.
