A Department of Sanitation truck somehow managed to smash halfway through the wall of a third story parking garage in Queens, New York Wednesday morning, leaving both the vehicle and the driver dangling perilously in the air.
Sometimes all it takes to save a family of ducks are a few nice people. And the police. And firefighters. And the Department of Sanitation.
A group of Chicagoans recently joined forces when a mother duck and her five offspring wound up in harm's way. It started in a parking garage, where Good Samaritan Jamie Holbrook saw the brood and spent three hours herding them to a park. But alas, the little family soon made its way onto busy Lake Shore Drive, where another kind-hearted person stopped traffic to try to help them off the road.
Earlier this week, a man dropped off a section of rusty pipe to firefighters at Redding, California's Fire Station #4. Why? There was a kitten trapped inside of it. That's right, a real life, just-larger-than-pipe-sized cat. So were these American heroes able to squeeze him out? Yes!
