Honestly, most of us would see a ball in a canal like that and just chalk it up as a loss. But not these guys. These guys went through hell and low water to get that thing back. It may not have been the perfect plan, but hell, you can't fault them for all the effort.
Things escalate extremely quickly when this random dog decides to attack a child, but this cat just comes screaming in out of nowhere and puts a stop to it. It kind of bucks the stereotype that all cats are asocial narcissists.
The moment this bus driver saw some messed up crap happening he jumped out and helped that old lady. Then, like a boss, he just went right back to driving that bus. It probably didn't even make him late.
Sometimes the creepiest stories are about some close call or gut feeling that just saves someone's skin. Good thing this dad got suspicious. For some creative creepiness here are some two sentence horror stories that expedited the fear, and for a funny story here's a five year old who's too smart for her own good.
Sure, it's not like any of these happened against all odds, but it's still fun to see. These are some good old fashioned everyday lucky moments and really close saves.Yeah, it's not winning the lottery, but it's still rare and satisfying to get an avocado with minimal to no pit.
These would have been classic fails if not for a healthy amount of luck. It's uncommon that two wrongs can make a right, but if you manage to fail a fail the right way, you can turn that baby into a win. It's like a win but with some extra suspense. Here's to the fails that landed on their feet.
After finding a dog stuck in the middle of a busy highway, this guy risks his life to make a daring rescue.
"I was driving along when I see this deer struggling to survive. I felt obligated to help her, so I pulled over, trekked through the woods, and crawled out onto the ice. I used a rope to pull her out. I am so glad she is safe. Now we need to find her mom.
**pets deer**
I will call her Miss Ice River. She must be so cold. I am so happy that she survived. Farewell."
You can't really see what happens, but you know it's heroic.
That's State Trooper Eric Devers, who leaps over a guardrail to save a truck driver that had crashed off the highway in Miami County, Ohio. According to the video's description:
An officer with the Ohio State Highway Patrol was honored this week for saving a semi-truck driver's life back in April. Dashcam footage just released shows trooper Eric Devers arrive at the scene of a crash and immediately sprint toward the driver. The trooper found the man still belted into his seat. Shortly after, his eyes rolled back into his head and he stopped breathing, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
The truck driver apparently had an atrial fibrillation, which is a quivering or irregular heartbeat that caused him to pass out while driving.
And hey! How cool is CPR? You should learn it yourself and become a hero like that guy there.
Certification and education classes are totally available near you.
It only takes a few hours, go ahead and do it.
FOX News reunited the two men during an emotional television segment.
We'll even forgive Devers for saying a pretty worn cliché.
You can pretty much say anything you want while you're saving someone's life.
