Rescuers in China used an unusual tool to save a woman caught in a rising river. The woman was reportedly trying to cross a bridge that was flooding and was washed into the river. While she was hanging onto a tree waiting for help, firefighters brought in an excavator and extended its arm to get to the woman. With the help of two men she was able to get onto the machine, which brought her back to dry land. InsideEdition.com's Mara Montalbano (https://twitter.com/MaraMontalbano) has more.
