Complete strangers banded together to form a human chain Saturday to rescue a family caught in a Florida riptide. Eighty beachgoers rushed into the water and joined hands when they heard the cries for help in Panama City. A mother of four was enjoying a day at the beach when she saw two of her boys were caught in a deadly riptide. She bravely swam out to their rescue, but she also got swept up by the water, as did the boys' grandmother.
