During 2003, the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission honored 98 individuals--four posthumously, who died during their heroic efforts--with bronze Carnegie Medals and $3500 cash awards for risking their lives to an extraordinary degree while saving, or attempting to save, the lives of others. Among the recipients were Eric Svihovec (21) of Miller Place, New York, and Christopher Crociata (16) of Mount Sinai, New York.

In the late afternoon of July 1, 2001, during a torrential thunderstorm, an automobile veered out of control and plummeted down a boat ramp at a marina before plunging into Mount Sinai Harbor. It began to sink in about 13 feet of water, with two-month-old Olivia Wardell and her mother trapped inside. Olivia was strapped into a back-seat car seat.

College student Svihovec and high schooler Crociata, who were working as dockhands at the marina, witnessed the accident. They ran along the dock adjacent to the ramp and dove into the water.
