Both mother and son got taken to hospital but thankfully escaped the incident with minor scratches. The police confirmed that the explosion happened due to excessive tire pressure due to the valve pump not being removed.
It is not clear whether anyone got charged after the accident.
The courageous efforts of a stranger can mean the difference between life and death, so when Mamoudou Gassama saw a young child dangling from the fourth storey balcony of an apartment building in France he was walking past, there was no hesitation.
He ran towards the building and climbed up reaching the dangling child in under 30 seconds when Parisian emergency services arrived Gassama had already pulled the child to safety. The Malian immigrant, Gassama, saved the boy’s life.
Since the incident, Gassama got offered French citizenship and a job with the Paris fire brigade. They had charged the father of the young child with the abandonment of parental responsibilities. He left the child home alone to go do shopping, after which he got distracted playing pokemon go. and faces up to two years in prison. The father is currently the sole caretaker of the child as his mother is living on Reunion Island.
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes and in this case, it was four-legged. A sweet Pitbull named Sacha pulled baby Masailah to safety after a fire broke out in the neighborhood in Stockton, California one Sunday night.
The fire reached the residence of Latana Chai, mum, to Masailah and said that Sacha would not stop barking, as if in warning. Latana opened the door where Sacha was barking and she ran in, she followed the pitbull and what she saw was astonishing.
Sacha had little Masailah by the diaper, dragging her off the bed towards safety. All three managed to get to safety before the fire completely burned down the house.
