Drone Pilot Hero

 Drones are all the rage these days. They use them to inspect for roof damage. Youtubers have them to get that perfect aerial shot for their travel channels. Several traditional fireworks shows have pivoted to drone formats as they can offer a less noisy light show with impressive choreography. Even hobbyists and casual users that just want to learn how to pilot these airborne marvels are becoming more and more common. One such teen hobbyist, Josh Logue from Denver, decided to go for a flight when he spotted something strange on camera, "I just thought it was a shadow or a mud puddle on the ground from all that rain recently. And then when I saw a car in it, I'm like oh...that's a sinkhole." Josh locating the anomaly To spot a sinkhole is unique on its own as they are not very common. But for there to be a car in the hole is quite a bit more interesting and this one, had people inside. In fact the couple in the vehicle had already tried calling 911 in their upside-dow...

Comfort During Chaos

Image
 One minute you are sitting at an intersection waiting your turn, on the way to the gym for a morning work out, the next minute you are two lanes over in a pile of rubble with blood everywhere and in shock from what must have been an impact. Loud noises of metal against metal, a transformer on the nearby electric pole blows up and your tongue doesn't seem to work or want to form words after your teeth nearly bit it in half. Imagine all of that happening in a split second. Even as an adult the chaos of it all would be jarring, confusing, and downright scary. Now imagine being a sixteen year old teenager who probably doesn't even know where his insurance card is or what accident protocols to follow.

Diving In Without Hesitance

A normal traffic accident is scary enough. But add high speeds, a bridge over water, and an ejected baby into the mix and you have a scene straight out of a horror movie. A multi-car collision occurred on the Ocean City, Maryland bridge leaving a pickup truck (pictured below) turned on its side hanging over the edge. The velocity of the impact caused an 18 month old little girl to eject from the vehicle and into the water. Jonathan Bowers, a fellow motorist on the bridge, witnessed the jaw dropping event and quickly went to the railing to look into the bay below. Upon doing so he recalled, "when I looked over, I saw the car seat, some other items, and about six feet away was a little girl. She was on her back, completely floating, head above water, arms moving and legs kicking."  Realizing her ability to stay afloat would not last long Jonathan jumped over the railing plunging two stories down into the bay waters, swimming after the child. Upon retrieving the young one, Mr. B...
