  • Sept. 11, 2013 - Exclusivepix Interview via Whitehotpix: Sgt. Jason Thomas unmasked his identity as the Marine who saved two Port Authority officers during the  9/11 terror attack who would otherwise have died. For years authorities did not know the identity of the U.S. Marine who appeared at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and helped rescue a pair of officers buried in the rubble, then vanished. - A masked mystery man who swooped in like a super-hero to rescue survivors of the 9/11 terror attack has told his story for the first time. When New York's Twin Towers collapsed 12 years ago, the muscular stranger in camouflage gear appeared out of nowhere and, defying the orders of fire chiefs who had called off rescue efforts as being too dangerous, vanished inside the burning debris..His courageous actions over several hours saved two trapped men who would otherwise have died. Incredibly, he then disappeared without trace. Despite a Hollywood movie being made about his role, he has since shunned publicity and refused to reveal the full account of his superhuman actions that infamous day, September 11, 2001 - UNTIL NOW. But at last the shy rescuer has been persuaded to tell his extraordinary account for a TV programme, 9/11: The Lost Hero, screened in Britain on Monday 2 September and soon to be seen worldwide. Award-winning film-maker Steve Humphries, who has made a dozen investigative documentaries about the attack on the World Trade Center, said yesterday: ''I have met some amazingly heroic people but this man's role in the drama was almost superhuman - something you'd expect to read in a comic book. Yet he is very much a real-life super-hero.''.The mystery man's name is Jason Thomas. At the time, he was a 27-year-old former sergeant in the US Marine Corps training as a law student. On 9/11 he was taking his baby daughter to his mother's house in suburban Long Island before heading to law school. But when he heard that the first Tower had been hit by an airp

  • EXCLUSIVE: A Great Dane who didn’t like cats has stopped a kitten going blind by donating blood used in sight-saving eye drops. Huge dog Harlie, who weighs around nine stone, put her best paw forward to give blood used to treat Zephyr the rescued kitten. Vets treated eight-week-old Zephyr with serum drops which used elements of Harlie’s blood after it has been separated using a centrifuge. The liquid part of the blood is made into drops which help the surface of the eye to heal and stop the tissue breaking down. Rescuers feared the worst for Zephyr but her sight has now been saved thanks to her huge donor friend Harlie. Steph Taylor, from charity Rescue Me Animal Sanctuary, said Zephyr was found with three siblings under a shed in Liverpool, England. She said: “They were all full of flu which had led to secondary pneumonia, horrific conjunctivitis with ulcerated eyes, ticks, severe flea infestation leading to anaemia and dehydration. “The serum from Harlie was fairly unusual for us to use and we have never done it before, there are several types of conventional medicated drops and we used these first but as Zephyr was not responding to these, our vet suggested it. “We had heard of it once before when another rescue spoke about it and they had amazing results. “We have four dogs at our HQ but sadly none were suitable blood donors due to their size, age or health problems so we had to turn to the public for help… and along came Harlie.” Harlie’s owner Jess said she wanted to help but at first she feared Harlie wasn’t used to cats and it might not be a good idea for her to meet Zephyr in person. Jess, 30, a foster carer from Liverpool, England, said meeting Zephyr was the first time her huge hound had met a feline in person. Jess, who has three other dogs, a Staffordshire bull terrier, and two shih tzu Yorkshire terriers, said she wanted to help after seeing an appeal for blood donors to produce the serum used for the eye drops.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A Great Dane who didn’t like cats has stopped a kitten going blind by donating blood used in sight-saving eye drops. Huge dog Harlie, who weighs around nine stone, put her best paw forward to give blood used to treat Zephyr the rescued kitten. Vets treated eight-week-old Zephyr with serum drops which used elements of Harlie’s blood after it has been separated using a centrifuge. The liquid part of the blood is made into drops which help the surface of the eye to heal and stop the tissue breaking down.

On November 5, 2015, two dams collapsed in southeastern Brazil, sending a torrent of mining sludge through the village of Bento Rodrigues. The muddy floodwaters from an iron ore mining operation destroyed hundreds of homes, killed some residents, and left others missing.<br />
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured these natural-color views of the village and the surrounding region. The top image shows the area on October 11, 2015; the second image shows the area on November 12, after the catastrophe. Turn on the image comparison tool to see areas where mud and sludge was still visible a week after the dams broke.<br />
The Wall Street Journal reported that 60 million cubic meters of wastewater were unleashed, with most of it affecting Bento Rodrigues. The village is located close to the breach, and sits in a river valley just below one of the dams.<br />
The effects of the flooding were felt far beyond Bento Rodrigues. The image shows multiple rivers, far from the village, that remained swollen with wastewater and mud. East of this image, in Barra Longa - a village about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the dams - the river surged as much as 15 meters and flooded homes,<br />
according to Reuters. As health officials conducted tests, cities as far as 300 kilometers (200 miles) downstream lost access to drinking water.<br />
As of November 12, 2015, rescuers had recovered the bodies of nine people, according to ABC News; 19 people were still missing.<br />

  • June 7, 2017 - inconnu - A wriggling robot able to burrow could help find victims of disasters like earthquakes.The RoboWorm could be fitted with a camera or microphone and work its way around rubble in a collapsed building or deep snow after an avalanche, and relay images to rescuers.The German industrial design company behind it says can help construction workers.It can also move easily on uneven and slippery surfaces, soft floors and in canals, pipes and ducts.The robot, inspired by a caterpillar, mirrors how the insect moves,.The motions of a caterpillar’s wriggling muscle movement are copied using magnetic of metal rings, wrapped in a durable silicone tube.The unique construction allows this robot to move on rough and uneven surfaces where more traditional tools might get stuck.Designer company Emami says RoboWorm can contort itself out of trouble.RoboWorm has two “heads” , one at each end, making it possible to move backwards without having to flip over. This lets it move backwards and forwards even in very tight spaces.It is equipped with cameras and additional sensors, for example a microphone, to make recordings possible in hard-to-reach areas such as a collapsed building in rescue work.The recordings can be sent to a receiving station immediately or stored in the device for later extraction.The device , which is still being developed, was rewarded with a special mention at the German Design Award. It rewards ground-breaking work in communication and product design.A spokesman for Emami Design said:” Flexibility and mobility, if nothing else, make RoboWorm with its camera and microphone a life-saving helper in earthquake zones where robots can for instance localise buried persons in collapsed building or under snow or rock avalanches.” # ROBOT VER DE TERRE (Credit Image: © Visual via ZUMA Press)
