Biloxi, Mississippi I-10 Car Crashes Into Semi, Explosion
**Everyone survived
The time shown on the video is wrong, this happened monday, august 11th 2014
A car t-bones a semi truck on I10 near Biloxi, Mississippi. The car struck the fuel tank of the semi causing a large fire ball. The doors of the car were jammed shut and the driver suffering a broken leg could not exit the vehicle.
Luckily my father had a fire extinguisher on hand to fight back the flames and give enough time to pull the driver and her 1 year old granddaughter out of the flaming vehicle. Once the passengers are free from the vehicle the flames rapidly grow in strength consuming the vehicle.
Thankfully my father had the presence of mind, bravery, and forethought of carrying a fire extinguisher, to be the first person on scene to risk his own life in order to possibly save another and to inspire others and lead them into taking action. Everyone involved in the rescue effort is a hero in my books.
The police and fire department responded within minutes of the accident and also deserve praise.
Remember to treat truck drivers well as they are often the first responders in automobile accidents.
Everyone involved was okay, the driver of the vehicle suffered a broken leg and all others had only minor injuries.
My father said he was surprised he was the first one there while everyone else stayed in their vehicles. It takes a huge amount of bravery to be the first to lend a hand. My guess is most people were hesitant to help because they figured the occupants could not have survived.
When he went to pull the child out of the car the smoke made it very difficult for him to breathe and his only thought was getting the child out of the vehicle.

First Phase Chief's Blanket sets record at John Moran Auctioneers
This stunning Navajo First Phase Chief's Wearing Blanket made headlines when it sold for 1.8 million dollars at John Moran Auctioneers' June 19th sale in Southern California, smashing the previous world record of $522,500 for a similar blanket. An example of the rarest type of the earliest phase of Navajo blankets, it emerged from obscurity when it was brought into Moran's free appraisal clinic by a man whose family handed it down through the generations, casually using it around the house. The sale of this museum-quality treasure has dramatically changed his life, and made auction history

Jet Ski Crash Bahamas - RAW HD Video
Published on Aug 4, 2014
Brian Prahl was celebrating his birthday in Nassau, Bahamas and shooting some random footage, when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
According to Brian .....
"This is a wreck that I caught out of the corner of my eye while shooting two girls that were taking photos of each other before going on a jetski ride. As I panned to my left, and saw this other crazy jet ski guy literally jump her jet ski like a ramp"
"She had the craziest instinct to get off of the jetski at the last second to save her head literally. The couple on the other jetski went flying into the sand after flying super high in the air. I was like 'hooolllyyy shhiit' at the ending as I could not imagine what I had captured, and thank god no one was hurt in the end."
While some commentators have suggested the footage may be linked another online prank associated with Jimmy Kimmel, it is remarkable footage nonetheless.

Chris Tack made seven trips to Goodwill to get rid of his stuff, before moving into the 140-square-foot home he and his wife Malissa Tack designed and built. Constructed on a trailer bed and parked in Snohomish, Washington, the house is more than enough space for them, the couple says. And one advantage of a home on wheels, the 29-year-olds say, is that you can always move.
