Hege Dalen and her partner Toril Hansen were eating supper in the camping area opposite Utoya island when they started hearing gunshots and screaming.
Dalen and Hansen drove their boat to the island, and fished out of the water people who were in shock and young people who were injured and transported them ashore. Every now and then bullets almost hit the boat.
Since they couldn’t fit everyone into the boat all at once, they returned to the island four times. They might have saved as much as 40 people from the clutches of the killer.

IT is heartwarming
It is wonderful to hear of the heroes who helped as much as they could during the shootings.
If a straight couple had dome it would the headline have been “Heterosexual couple saved 40 teenagers”?
On a gay themed website why one shouldn’t report about this heroic act by Lesbians? After all there are still a lot of negative publications about the LGBT community.
True, though I’d have been tempted to just give names and the picture.
There’s surprisingly little about it on the web generally. There’s much more about the German man who saved 20 (or possibly 30.)
So, on second thoughts, good headline! I wonder why it’s not prominent in the Daily Mail
