No news channel near the New York Post's size added more views over the week, and the clip doing most of that work comes from the other side of the world.

It opens from a Victoria Police helicopter. A teenager lies on a flat rock beside a creek, then waves up at the crew. A rescuer climbs down to him, and he is hoisted out of the ravine. The helicopter lands on an open field, officers walk his mother across the grass to the open door, and the last shot is the two of them holding each other inside the cabin. The only words anyone says are a rescuer's "This way."

The 17-year-old had gone camping with a teenage friend near Walhalla, east of Melbourne, and had been missing for six days. Walhalla began as a gold-rush town in the 1860s and once held about 4,000 people. Today it has roughly 20 permanent residents, which gives some sense of how empty the surrounding country is.

The comments read like a thank-you card to the search crews. Many viewers mention the moment he waves, smiles and taps his heart. Others point out that he stayed by the creek, where the air search could spot him.

The rest of the week moved with the news. The excavator driver smashing the entrance of a Chinese government service center, as we reported here, kept drawing viewers. Friday brought the nationwide U.S. ground stop, including DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin's assurance that it was a telecommunications outage, and new footage of a tanker striking a docked cruise ship on the Mississippi near New Orleans.

Daily views more than doubled their usual level, and about half the week's new subscribers arrived in a single day. CTV News also had a big week among similar news channels, while The Guardian ran quieter than usual.

The channel's best-known video, from 2014, shows a young elephant surviving an attack by fourteen lions. This week's survivor needed a helicopter instead.
