Ceiling fan falls down during family dinner
A video uploaded on YouTube by ViralHog showed a scenario that can make you jump off your seat at once.
A family of six were seen squatting on the floor on a mat and relishing their dinner while talking to one another.
Suddenly, the little child in their midst heard a noise and looked around. Seconds later, a ceiling fan dropped right on the lap of the child and the two men seated beside him.
The mother jumped from her seat and hugged the little child while the others remained frozen for quite a few seconds.
The caption of the video read: “The whole family was eating when the ceiling fan fell right between us. Luckily no one was hurt.”
Viewers were shocked at the fact that the family escaped such danger without any injuries. A user commented: “Now that’s a miracle! Another user, wrote: “That’s why I abhor ceiling fans. They don’t look good with the room, and they break apart with age.” – ndtv.com
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
