"With my little training and research, I understand how difficult it must have been, I want to send you guys so much love, and I appreciate you," he said.
The Rock further added that it is good to give the pilots their flowers while they are still alive.
"I am sending you guys so much love and respect, I am so impressed, thank you for all that you do with the organisation," he added.
Taru Carr-Hartley, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust pilot captured in the viral video flying a helicopter was seen holding the hand of the truck driver towards the helicopter.
Through their website, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust said the Galana operations manager raised the alarm at 4:30 pm on Wednesday that the tanker which was being driven across the Galana-Kulalu causeway had been overwhelmed by the swollen river.
The man is said to have been trapped since 10 am on that day, making the man clinging onto the top of the Tunker even as the crisis intensified.
The water had pushed the tanker to its side, smashing the windscreen and engulfing the cabin.
“It was only a matter of time before the river engulfed the entire vehicle. Onlookers watched helplessly from the shore, horrified but unable to intervene, as the current made any sort of crossing impossible,” the trust said.
