Yursa Mardini was 18 years when she helped save 20 passengers sea-crossing on a boat. Something caused an engine failure in the boat full of people. On her journey to a safe country, the engine broke/failed. Brave Yursa took responsibility to save those people and risked her own life for those other innocent people for 3 and a half hours.
