Workers dangle from 26th floor after woman cuts rope

Two painters were left dangling from the 26th floor of a high-rise in Thailand after a woman cut their support rope.
The woman, a resident of the high-rise condominium, was reportedly angry that she had not been informed before they started the job, according to police report and had been charged with attempted murder.
The workers were left dangling hundreds of feet above the ground when the resident of the building snapped a rope that was supporting them. The 34-year-old woman was said to have done it without any warning. The incident took place October 12.
The video, shared on social media, showed the workers literally hanging on for dear life from the 26th floor of the building as they shout for help, asking the residents to open their windows and let them in.
One of the workers spoke to the media and said that he and his two co-workers were lowering themselves from the 32nd floor when they felt their support rope go loose.
The two workers were finally helped by a resident and her husband. “This incident is shocking and should not happen at all,” the rescuer said.
The woman, whose identity had not been revealed, initially denied having played any part in the act. However, she later confessed when the police showed her surveillance footage and told her fingerprints were found on the rope. – ndtv.com
Cow turns on man harassing dog
A disturbing video of a man harassing a dog took an unexpected turn when a cow turned the tables on him.
Footage shared online captured the man repeatedly pulling the dog up by its neck as the animal yelped and whined in pain.
The man, dressed in a checked shirt and trousers, kept harassing the dog even as it howled miserably. Suddenly, however, he was interrupted by a cow barging into the scene.
The cow was filmed pushing the helpless dog away from the man. Then, before he could react, the cow began attacking the man in what many on the internet termed the perfect example of “instant karma”.
In the video, the cow was seen mauling the man, pushing him to the ground where he rolled around helplessly for a few seconds before the video ended. The footage was shared on Twitter by an Indian Forest Service officer who captioned it simply “Karma”. – ndtv.com
Swimmer attacked by alligator in horrifying video
A horrifying video captured the moment an alligator chased and attacked a swimmer in Brazil. The incident took place at a spot with a lake that is popular with tourists.
The Lago do Amor lake in Campo Grande, however, is off-limit for swimmers due to the presence of alligators, so when Willyan Caetano saw a man enter the prohibited waters, he began filming.
“A man entered the water around 4:40 pm and started swimming in the place, where entry is prohibited,” he said.
His video showed the moment an alligator in the lake began chasing the unlucky swimmer. According to Mr Caetano, the man tried swimming faster in order to escape the oncoming reptile.
“He tried to swim fast to get away, but the alligator managed to reach him and land a violent bite on the man’s arm. He came out of the water with his arm all bloody and very scared, saying he didn’t know there was an alligator,” Mr Caetano said. – ndtv.com
Plane flying over garden drops human waste on man
A man and his garden were left splattered in human excrement dropped from an aircraft in the UK.
The incident took place in the town of Windsor in mid-July but made the news recently after local Councillor, Karen Davies, brought it to the attention of the aviation forum of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
She said the man’s “whole garden, and garden umbrellas, and him” were splattered in human waste dumped from a plane flying overheard.
John Bowden, the Councillor of Eton and Castle, suggested that warm weather might have had a hand in the incident, causing the excrement to “come out as a more ‘fluidy’ item” rather than a frozen block.
According to reports, the name of the airline responsible for the incident has not been released. Meanwhile, the man who was subjected to its unceremonious dumping of sewage decided not to pursue an insurance claim against the airline. – ndtv.com

Viewers watching the weather forecast in Washington, US, received a bit of a shock after a local news channel accidentally aired a pornographic clip.
KREM, a local CBS-affiliated news outlet based in Spokane, Washington, broadcast the 13-second explicit video during their 6pm newscast.
Meteorologist Michelle Boss was giving a weather update when the porn clip began playing over her shoulder. Neither she, nor her co-anchor, appeared to be aware of the clip.

KREM apologised for the “inappropriate” video during their 11pm broadcast, according to reports.
The Spokane Police Department was investigating the incident after receiving several concerned calls from viewers. –ndtv.com

Message in bottle floats from Canada to Ireland in 13 years

A message in a bottle launched by visitors to Newfoundland’s Bell Island was found washed up on an Irish beach nearly 13 years later, after apparently crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Kate Gay said she was walking a Dingle Peninsula beach this week when she spotted the wine bottle with a sheet of paper inside.
Gay showed the bottle to members of Creative Ireland NeartnaMacharaí during a meeting at her house that evening, and they broke the bottle open.
The note, written by a couple named Brad and Anita, was dated Sept. 12, 2012. The letter described the couple’s day trip to Bell Island.
There was a phone number on the letter, but there was no answer when group members tried to call.
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group posted photos of the bottleto social media on Monday, and within an hour group members were messaging with Anita.
Group member Martha Farrell said Anita reported that she and Brad had married in 2016 and are still together to this day. -upi.com

Woman earns world record for collection of 15,485 egg cups

A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster’s collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby — one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.
