A quick-thinking girl uses just her legs to rescue a sinking canoe in a captivating new video.
The youngster from Mabul Island – a fishing village off the coast of Malaysia – spots the submersed wooden boat and clings to a jetty as she secures each side of it underwater with her feet.
She then starts tipping the canoe side-to-side using her leg strength and amazing balance. Gradually the water splashes out and the sailing vessel bobs back to the surface.
