Hurricane Ian: Evacuees rescue drowning baby deer from floodwater
You must have come across various wild animal rescue operation videos and images on the internet.
Despite the fact that animals are physically stronger than people, there are still some situations and places in this world where the brute creations lack the necessary ability and do need human help.
In one such incident, a man in the United States recently stepped up to help wildlife when Hurricane Ian hit Florida earlier this week.
Owen Fletcher and his roommates reportedly rescued a baby deer in distress as Hurricane Ian slammed Orlando with flooding rains.
Mr Fletcher, who lives off of University Boulevard, said that the baby deer was struggling to stay above water. He and his roommates then brought it onto their balcony to keep it safe.
When the group was evacuated from their apartment building, they then brought the deer with them to Lake Nona. They now intended to release the baby deer into the wild, Mr Fletcher said, according to news reports.
Meanwhile, the deadly Hurricane Ian, which is one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the United States, had left a trail of devastation. Almost two million customers were without electricity in Florida, out of a total of more than 11 million.
Earlier this week, a video had also surfaced on the internet which captured how Fort Myers Beach was affected by storm surge and flooding caused by Hurricane Ian. -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.
