the graduate of greenport high school now working as a chef. >> i really appreciate what the person did for me. i mean, he saved my life. >> stopped breathing at one point for 30-second and he came back and -- he he's a tough kid to be able to withstand that cold and that temperature for the amount of time he did. >> reporter: many residents here proud of the rescuers. >> that's amazing! wow. my hats off to them. >> reporter: there were sirens and shouts from police and three local fire departments all involved in saving his life. from southold, jennifer mclogan, cbs 2 news. >> volunteers from greenport, east marian and southold fire departments also helped in that successful rescue. >> the big apple is predicting another record year for tourism during a travel trade show in germany. nyc & company says it expects more than 59 million visitors by the end of the year. 47million of those visitors are expected to be domestic while over 12 million if the numbers hold up it would be the 7th consecutive record-breaking year for tourism. >>> next time you go to buy a gift card you may be forced
