rescue

From the Youtube description:

RNLI lifeguards rescued a boy who had been dragged away from Crooklets Beach in Bude, Cornwall, in a very strong rip current while bodyboarding. He was heard screaming for help so lifeguard Joby Wolfenden-Brown paddled out on a rescue board and grabbed the boy, who was exhausted and clearly in a lot of distress. He was brought back to shore safely and reunited with his family.

People really need to stop leaving their pets and/or kids in their hot cars.

For those who prefer GIFs:

Ella Birchenough dropped her Blackberry into a storm drain after fumbling to get it into her pocket (don't laugh, we've all been there). Not content with losing it forever, she attempted to excavate the phone herself. Then, in a scene straight out of Every Cartoon Ever, her legs were left dangling while her upper torso was stuck in the drain. Birchenough insisted that she didn't need assistance, but her panicked mother called the local fire department to help get her out safely.

The phone, however, now belongs to the rats and sewer mutants.

The blaze erupted on the roof of a Houston apartment complex yesterday, whipping into a frenzy from the winds.

A man named Harrison Okene was the sole survivor after a tug boat sank off the coast of Nigeria. He survived for nearly three days inside an air pocket inside the sunken vessel. This newly released video captured by a South African dive team looks like something out of a blockbuster movie!
