If Your Vehicle Is Sinking Fast Underwater THIS Is What You Have To Do To Live and Survive
image via – facebook.com
For many of us, the thought of being trapped in a sinking car has crossed our minds. What would we do, how would we react, would we be able to make it out alive? That kind of stuff is what nightmares are made of, but for some people that nightmare could one day become a reality.
Think about it, all that it takes is one brief moment. Perhaps you’re driving down the road and become distracted, when you look up it’s too late and you end up crashing into a pond. Or maybe a deer suddenly pops out of nowhere. Without even thinking you instinctively swerve to avoid hitting it and in the process you end up losing control of the car.
If you end up in a lake, river, stream, marsh, or whatever body of water it may be, your car is going to immediately start sinking. Water will rush in and it will quickly begin to fill the interior passenger compartment space up. What do you do?
Many people have no idea what to do if they find themselves in this type of situation. As much as you may have thought about it, when it comes down to it you’re likely panicking and not thinking about what the best course of action is.
The obvious thing you’ll want to do is get out of the car as quickly as you possibly can. To help yourself escape as fast as possible, the first thing you should do is roll down the window while simultaneously taking off your seat belt. Rolling down the window and removing your seat belt is crucial because all that water may cause the computerized electronic equipment in your car to short out or completely malfunction. If that happens, you will likely be unable to roll down electric windows or disengage your safety belt.
Being trapped in a sinking car with the windows up is virtually impossible to escape from. At that point you’d need to break a window to get out. You won’t be able to open the door, even if it is unlocked the sheer pressure from the surrounding water makes it impossible to force open, you’d basically need to have superhuman strength. Only a special tool designed to break car glass windows will work. You can find these online and keep one in your car, but overall the best option is to roll your window down asap!
The next step after getting the window down and your seat belt off is to get out of the car as quickly as you can. Oftentimes people in sinking cars have less than one minute to both react and get out. In addition, if there are any young children in the back seat they will need help getting out from an adult.
They should first be taken out of their car seats and then passed through the front window, but only after it has been rolled down and the adult’s seat belt has been unbuckled. For any passengers in the back seat of a car that has either no operable windows or ones that don’t roll all the way down, they will have to work their way to the front and go out either the driver or passenger side windows. Here are some additional tips:
Never call 911, you will be wasting precious time where you should be escaping and it will be too late by the time help arrives. Don’t panic. You have to react immediately and freezing up will get you killed. Every second counts and the instant you hit the water the clock starts ticking.
Watch this ABC News clip. It will show you exactly what to expect if and when you should ever have to escape from a sinking car. It also offers an inside-view of what a sinking car will look like and the experts take us through a number of scenarios. They show you how to get out from the front drivers seat, from the rear passenger seat, and how to help get little kids out as well.

Porsche Discovered 26 Years After Someone Stole It! But Then Cops Spot Bones On The Grass Next To It!
image via – youtube.com
Late in November of 2017 a man was walking his dog along a rural road in Jackson County Oregon. The dog ended up wandering off the roadway into the dense woods with his owner following close behind when something suddenly caught the man’s eye. Up ahead down a steep embankment lay an overturned vehicle. It was covered in leaves, sticks, and dirt and looked like it had been there for quite some time.
The man called the local police to report the car in the woods and they went out to investigate the wreck. They found the abandoned car at the base of a steep cliff which made it virtually impossible to see for anyone looking down from the road up above.
The car was on its roof and there were bones scattered on the ground nearby. Fearing the worst, investigators examined them closely before breathing a sigh of relief, they were animal bones and most likely that of a deer.
After running the plates on the car the police were astonished when it came back as being reported stolen. The fact that it’d been stolen wasn’t what surprised them, it was how long ago it had occurred. The car was a 1979 Porsche 924 coupe that had been reported stolen over 26 years earlier!
According to records, the Porsche was allegedly stolen on January 20, 1991 from a movie theater parking lot in Medford, Oregon. After that, it was never seen again until the man and his dog stumbled upon it. Further investigation found that the registration tags had also expired in 1991, leading police to believe that it had been crashed, dumped, or abandoned in the woods sometime shortly after being taken.
Despite having the name of the owner listed on the stolen car report from 1991, police were unable to locate them. There was also an issue with figuring out how to get the car out of the woods. Its final resting place was at the bottom of a steep cliff surrounded by dense forest and so there was no easy way to remove it.
Officials did not want to risk causing more damage to the environment and so for now it’s going to stay there until they can figure out the best way to safely remove it.
This isn’t the first time a stolen car reported missing suddenly popped up out of nowhere years later. It has happened more than a few times all over the world and the video covers some very interesting stories about long lost cars finding their way back to their owners.
Check it out for more and if your car ever gets stolen, there is always hope it might be found 26+ years later!

Mother Just Gave Birth To Triplets. But 30 Minutes Later The Doctor Walks Into The Room and Tells Her ‘I’m Sorry’
image via – youtube.com
When Amy and Michael Howard from Center Moriches, New York found out they were expecting triplets, the couple was over the moon. The new parents to be were excited and while they knew generally what to expect, they were totally unprepared for just how much their lives were about to change.
As soon as Amy gave birth in October to the three boys, both she and Michael could tell right away that something was wrong with them. The newborns, Hunter, Jackson, and Caden, all had misshaped heads due to a condition known as craniosynostosis. Infants born with the condition have skulls where the bones have been prematurely joined together inside the uterus, which can lead to an underdeveloped brain and misshapen head. If not corrected early on, the malformation can possibly lead to limited brain function. The Howards thought that since the triplets were crowded in the womb, it had led to the problem, and that now the boys were out they would begin to develop normal head shapes.
Doctors who examined the babies were baffled and astounded by what they found. On average, 1 in 2,500 babies are born with craniosynostosis, but for all three triplets to have it the odds are seemingly impossible at 1 in 500 trillion! Nevertheless, the babies had it and doctors broke the bad news to the couple that all three needed surgery to correct the condition.
When the boys were just nine weeks old, they all underwent the first ever craniosynostosis operations performed on triplets. Thankfully all of them turned out well with no complications and after two days in the hospital the boys were able to go home. They still had a long road to recovery ahead and had to wear special helmets 23 hours a day, seven days a week, for six months to ensure proper skull development.
By the time Hunter, Jackson, and Caden were over a year old, they had all developed normal shaped heads. They had also reached important developmental milestones without any issues and were normal, healthy babies who had managed to overcome the condition they were born with. While the odds were astronomical and never seen before, the outcome was thankfully better than anyone could have expected!

Her Baby Began Acting Very Strange. Then Mom’s Hidden Camera Caught The Babysitter Doing The UNTHINKABLE!
image via – youtube.com
Hiring a babysitter is an arduous task and one that most mothers have to deal with. Maybe mom is returning to work or wants to go on a date night. She has to find someone who she can entrust with the safety of her precious child. For one couple, this proved more difficult than normal.
Arizona couple Chris and Whitney were happily raising their baby Raley. Chris was working full time and Whitney wanted to go back to law school. They knew that they would need to hire a nanny so Whitney could pursue her dream. They looked and looked but repeatedly came up short in the search for a suitable nanny.
Then, a voice from Whitney’s past reached out. Melissa, a fellow high school classmate of Whitney’s, reached out after seeing Whitney’s post of Facebook. Whitney did a background check on Melissa and saw only positive things. They met and the job was arranged
A few weeks later, Whitney and Chris noticed a change in their child’s behavior. She seemed more skittish and anxious. She also would hide behind Whitney whenever Melissa came over. The couple sensed something was wrong but couldn’t prove it.
Chris and Whitney decided to hide a secret camera to check in on the nanny. They left one night with the camera hidden. When they came back, they dismissed Melissa and checked the camera. It had clearly been moved as it was now facing the wall.
Whitney took the camera and began to review the footage. She was shocked by what she saw. The couple watched in horror as Melissa violently shook and pushed their daughter on the screen. Quickly, they formulated a plan. They called Melissa over to watch their kid that night. When she arrived, she was greeted by the local police.
Thankfully, she was now in custody. It’s hard to imagine that these horror stories could actually happen to you, but it only goes to show careful we need to be when letting strangers into our lives.

THIS Teenage Girl Is Actually Severely Allergic To Air. THIS Is The Unthinkable Way She Stays Alive!
image via – youtube.com
Most people have experienced some sort of allergy over the course of their lives. Even if you are not severely allergic to nuts or bee stings, tree pollen and other types of seasonal allergies likely aggravate your sinuses and cause your eyes to water and itch. As uncomfortable and annoying dealing with allergies can be, imagine being allergic to just about any and everything in the air. For one fifteen year old girl from Maine, that nightmare is a reality.
She was living a normal life just two years ago, but one day Martina Baker woke up and was shocked to see that her body was covered in red itchy hives. They were even in her throat and so her mother rushed her to the hospital where she was treated and released.
From that point on Martina kept having recurring allergic reactions but what was causing them remained unknown. She found herself in the hospital several times a week for months on end and despite visiting numerous doctors, specialist after specialist could not tell her what the issue was.
When an immunologist from Massachusetts diagnosed her as having Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, or MCAS, Martina finally had the answer she was looking for. Now she could finally understand her condition, deal with it properly, and hopefully get her life back to as normal as could be. MCAS is an illness that causes people to become allergic to virtually anything in the air that is not oxygen. There are hundreds of different scents and smells that will trigger an episode, including cooking oil, smoke, perfumes, water and heat.
Since her diagnosis, Martina has changed her lifestyle drastically. She wears a face mask most of the time and especially anytime she goes outside or in public, which is rarely. Having such a severe condition has also led to her losing a lot of friends, it’s hard for them to understand and has left her isolated. Her family has had to adapt too, they now cook outside a lot, don’t do laundry with detergents, and only use vinegar to clean.
After awhile Martina started to become depressed and forlorn. Her life had been turned completely upside down out of the blue and she couldn’t even leave her house without fearing a severe allergic reaction. When her mother heard about a service dog program that trained dogs to detect the release of histamine in the body and thus warn their owner of an imminent allergic reaction, she knew it was exactly what Martina needed. The only thing that stood in the way was the high cost of such a specially trained dog, they were $10,000.
Knowing that the dog could save Martina’s life in more ways than one, her family set up a GoFundMe page to help offset the cost and spread the word. Soon after they had raised the money and now Martina has her service dog, a boxer mix named Kiva.
When Kiva first arrived, she was accompanied by a trainer who helped Martina and her new dog understand one another. Now when Martina is about to have an allergic reaction Kiva will kiss her around the mouth and physically prevent her from walking into the allergen.
At night Kiva checks on Martina, even when she’s sleeping, and knowing that her dog is by her side and constantly on the alert has made all the difference in the world for everyone in the family. Perhaps the most meaningful thing of all to come out of this is the friendship that Kiva and Martina have quickly developed.

Neighbor Sees This Pup With His Snout Duct Taped. So He Breaks Into The Yard and Does The UNTHINKABLE!
image via – youtube.com
Dogs are amazing creatures. We adore the dogs we own. This is a priviledge that not all canines receive. Sometimes, we forget about all the poor puppies that are treated badly. This story is not about us. It’s about a couple who did recognize a dog in poor conditions and the lengths they went to to protect it.
They first noticed something wrong as soon as they arrived in the house. The neighbor had a concrete yard for a backyard. The couple’s neighbors kept their golden retriever outside attached to a chain. The dog clearly was not a fan of the setup.
The retriever expressed its dissasitsfaction and despair through moans and crying. The owners despised the sounds the dog made and decided to do something even more cruel. They taped the dog’s mouth shut. Not only was it uncomfortable, it was also making breathing difficult for the dog.
When the couple saw this, they couldn’t handle it. They called the police who did nothing. So the couple did the unthinkable: they climbed the fence to their neighbor’s yard and removed all of the various restrictive bindings from the dog. They brought it back to their yard and decided to raise it in conjunction with their previously owned dog. The retriever was certainly lucky to have such empathetic and brave people around to see its plight and rescue it. They were the true heroes.
