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.

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

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”.

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

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

 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.

Stuck parrot

 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.”
