Out Of The Country

There’s Fire

David Stepped In

They Saved The Babies

People Came To Help

The Day Goes On
YouTube, TODAYDavid and Doran, on the other hand, went on to catch up with their tour and continue their honeymoon trip as if nothing happened. David said, “It doesn’t feel real at all. Every time I tell (the story), I’m like, ‘did that really happen?’. It felt like a movie scene. But we were happy to be in the right place at the right time.”
