They’re more than just pretty faces!
Two models joined a family of tourists to rescue seven teens who plunged into an icy pond in Central Park while playing around and taking selfies in New York Tuesday.

Tourist Lourdes Cuevas and her family noticed the teens “playing” and “sliding” on the ice and then pausing to take a selfie. That’s when the ice collapsed and the teens fells into the cold water.
Cuevas’ daughter and husband used a ladder to help rescue the kids from the water, and two other Good Samaritans — models Bennett Jonas and Ethan Turnbull — joined the rescue efforts as well.
In an interview with CNN‘s sister network HLN, Turnbull said (in a sexy Aussie accent btw):
“It was only a matter of seconds and it went from playing, dancing around on the ice, taking selfies to actually being in the water. And the water was definitely pretty cold.”
Firefighter Eddie Long confirmed that most of the kids had already been removed from the water when the fire department arrived. Still, seven people were taken to the hospital in serious condition, treated for hypothermia, and expected to survive.
The models also appeared on Good Morning America where they again shared the story of their amazing rescue efforts! Hottie heroes!
