Not All bad
Well some positive headlines for a change.
Quote:
An elderly man has praised passers-by who dragged him and his wife to safety after their car was engulfed by floods.
One man stripped to the waist and hoisted the rear of the Nissan Micra on to his shoulders to save Gordon and Myra Nelson.
Two other men joined in by wading across and dragging the couple from the car after Newcastle was hit by torrential downpours.

Makes a change to see a story that involves someone putting themself in danger to try and help total strangers

Re: Not All bad
I saw the video of the rescue on the BBC news website - it must have been terrifying for the elderly couple in the car, but the 3 men that rescued them - they did really well!

Re: Not All bad
Anybody got the footage from this as a .avi / .mpg, really can't be bothered with installing new software just to see it. Would like to view on Windoze Media Player if possible.

Re: Not All bad
How do you propose I do that when the BBC site is trying to open it using a RealPlayer plugin?
