Hero cop rescues dog from burning car
Loving a dog is one thing. Saving a dog’s life is a bigger task. Recently, a sheriff’s deputy in Colorado, US, is receiving all the love from social media users. Reason? The officer was able to save a dog that was trapped in a burning car.
Bodycam footage of the incident, which took place on January 22, was released by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on their official Facebook page.
In the clip, Mr Gregorek arrived at the site after receiving a call about a vehicle on fire. On arriving at the site, the deputy broke the window panes of the car with a baton.
At first, dense fumes came out from within the vehicle and the owner of the car was heard shouting in a panic about his dog, Hank, that was stuck inside.
The rescuers finally rushed to the back windshield and broke it. After bringing the dog out of the car’s rear, the deputy let it run to a nearby pile of snow to cool off.
The video has since attracted thousands of comments. Viewers appreciated the deputy’s “wonderful” efforts and called him “a true hero”. –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.
