This is a good human interest story, and I am glad they both survived.

But today’s journalism really sucks on so many levels. The title of this piece says he was forced. Now those that have yet to read it could assume by the way the title was written that possibly the police forced him at gun point or some other means of coercion were used to make this blind man wade through flood waters and on top of that, forced to carry another person!

This man was not forced, it was his choice to either die or take charge and save both of them. He is a hero, not a victim.
