The couple delivered the baby on the side of the highway
In a bizarre incident, a couple in the United States recently delivered their baby on the side of a highway with the help of two nearby phone chargers.
Taking to Facebook, Emily Waddell, revealed that she was on her way to the hospital with her husband, Stephan Waddell, when she realised she was not going to make it on time. She immediately asked Mr Stephan to pull the car over on the side of Interstate 69, where their daughter Reagan was then born, weighing seven pounds and 10 ounces on September 12.
In the post, Ms Emily wrote that she told her husband she did not want to have the baby in a truck just moments before making him pull over.
Mr Stephan then pulled off the interstate where he assisted his wife to deliver their daughter. Ms Emily revealed that after successful delivery, she had to suction out the baby’s mouth and nose while Mr Stephan worked to tie off the umbilical cord.
“Stephan used two phone chargers to tie off the umbilical cord while I suctioned her mouth and nose out with my mouth — which is very difficult when you just pushed a baby on the side of the road.” she wrote on Facebook. — ndtv.com
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
