SOUNDBITE (English) Joern Oeverby, Rescuer: "Maybe I could take two or three more people but it was 20 in there.

SOUNDBITE (English) Joern Oeverby, Rescuer: "They are floating in the water, they are lying on the cliffs, hanging in the cliffs, they are floating all around the island. I count about 25, 30 dead people only on the beaches." 8. Wide of diving platform and island in background 9. SOUNDBITE (English) Joern Oeverby, Rescuer: "I am not finished with this yet.

Wide of Oeverby on boat STORYLINE: A man who rescued more than 20 people after Anders Behring Breivik went on a shooting spree on the Norwegian island of Utoya talked about his experience on Tuesday. Joern Oeverby said he knew about the incident when he got a phone call from a friend, telling him shots had been heard on the island and that people were jumping into the water and trying to swim away. That was 5.55pm local time (1555 GMT). Within minutes, Oeverby was speeding towards Utoya island in his boat. When he got there, he found swimmers begging him to lift them aboard and away from the horrors they had just witnessed. Oeverby was able to rescue 20 people on his first trip. He said he could have taken a couple more but became aware that shots were being fired at him. He then had a tough decision. "We had to make a choice in a second and I think it was best to save those I already had," he said. Oeverby said he thought 'I can't save any more if I get shot myself.' When he returned he found a scene of devastation, with victims "floating in the water, lying on the cliffs, hanging in the cliffs, floating all around the island." Many of those he couldn't take on the first trip were dead. Oeverby made one more trip before police commandeered his boat and used it as a landing craft for a special forces team that would take back the island from the gunman. He said the experience has had a profound effect on him. "I am not finished with this yet. I am still thinking," he said. "I hope I did right. I hope that some of them I rescued, (who) were wounded, still live." The propeller on his boat was damaged in the rescue. Oeverby plans to get it fixed - and then to sell the boat as soon as possible because it now holds too many painful memories.
