Will Murray, a reporter for Australia's public broadcaster, was covering floods in the country when he noticed a man inside a sinking truck. Rather than simply document the scene, he jumped into the water together with a bystander to help.

The episode stands out because a journalist whose job was to record the impact of the flooding became a direct participant in events. According to the source, Murray does not want to be called Clark Kent, a reference to the secret identity of the fictional superhero Superman.

The source excerpt gives no further details about the circumstances of the rescue, the condition of the man in the truck or the exact location of the incident.
