22 years ago, Damian Aspinall did what many parents would consider to be reckless and irresponsible – he introduced his 18-month-old daughter, Tansy, to a group of gorillas at Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent. He filmed the encounter but kept the footage private, until now.
Shocking footage of a teacher brutally attacking a female student at Patriot High in Mpumalanga emerged online earlier this week. The educator eventually had to be subdued by scholars in his own classroom. The video was taken by one of the pupils on a cellphone. The teacher in question has since been suspended. It is believed that the student called him “gay” shortly before he turned violent.
Over the weekend, Shannon Stone, a firefighter, tried to catch a ball thrown into the stands during a game.

This Sri Lankan girl got hit so hard by a moving train that she did a pretty impressive double spin. If this was ice skating, she’d have scored at least a 7,9.

Patting people down for a living must take a special kind of person. To see just how special, check out this video of a 6-year-old girl being searched EVERYWHERE for possible drugs. It is conducted by a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employee – the people responsible for the safety on board public modes of transport in the US. They clearly take their job very seriously.
One hears all these news reports about around the world, but there is nothing like visuals to demonstrate what these poor people are going through as we speak.
