Handcuffed prisoner escapes from moving police van
We have heard, watched and read many stories of convicts breaking out of prison over the years. Well, one such incident occurred recently in Brazil.
This time it was not a jail cell that the prisoner broke out of but a moving police vehicle. The man was handcuffed but managed to escape from right under the eyes of cops.
The act was caught on camera and the video, shared recently, featured the man jumping out of the police car as it was moving down a street.
The incident took place on December 28, 2021, at Alagoa Nova, Paraiba, Brazil and attracted thousands of viewers online.
As expected, viewers were speechless as the incident unfolded on camera while others praised the man’s escaping act.
According to local reports, the man managed to open the “chess” door of the police car and escaped. He crouched in the middle of the street after jumping out of the car and soon ran for his life.
Due to this, the police did not notice his escape in the rearview mirror and the car went ahead without the prisoner.
According to a report, the police noticed the man’s escape only after they arrived at the police station and did not find the prisoner inside the car. –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.
