emptychair A good result that the resident was extricated from the burning house by the neighbours, but still very hard for someone when their house is burnt down like that.

emptychair I wonder if he was wearing a life jacket at the time, as it appears, he has one on in the photo, and with an injured leg, he could not tread water so well, so the life jacket must have also helped to save him, plus the quickness of his rescue.

emptychair It must have been a difficult rescue, requiring the stokes basket to avoid further injuring the dog. It would be safer for the rescuers to handle a frightened, cold dog that way too.

emptychair I wonder what happened for the woman to do that. She was lucky that a trained responder was on hand close-by to rescue her, as it is dangerous to be trapped in a sinking auto.

emptychair At least the Police Officer did not have to jump into the river. The man must have wanted to be rescued, as he did grasp the rope, and so could be pulled out.

emptychair @Shiva49 Perhaps there is some method in his madness, as he waves a big stick, then backs down. Trump just wants to determine the lay of the land before he takes action. He is no idiot, just swayed by greed, and delusions of self grandeur.

emptychair Everything is a part of everything else too, and so everything affects everything. Spiritual progress encompasses embracing love actively, and connecting to the overall source of that love, to God too.
