This is hilarious, but it can also be a scary thrill for a lot of people, adults and kids alike! The sky swing ride at amusement parks is something that will get your heart pounding. Most people would’ve been yelling “let me off” if the ride malfunctioned, but this girl showed she had more heart than the boys, and the looks on their faces at the end say it all.
Would you let your kids ride this?

Significant river flood along the Wailuku River near Hilo, Hawaii. Standing near this bridge you can feel the thuds with every tree that slammed into it. The rain is still falling substantially.

A day at sea takes a wild turn when a feisty octopus latches onto a fisherman's face and won't let go.
The fisherman desperately tugs at its tentacles as the creature keeps its grip, turning the encounter into an unexpected wrestling match.
After a tense back-and-forth, he finally manages to break free and pull the octopus away.

WATCH: A mother grizzly bear approaches a fishing boat, spots a salmon in the water, and snatches it just a few feet from a fishing charter in Alaska.
Fishing guide Carter Brown kept his cool the entire time and said he started filming as the bear foraged along the river. Moments later, she was fishing for salmon right beside him.
"My clients were mind-blown," Brown said.
Brown says encounters like this are part of life in his unique corner of Alaska, where bears and humans regularly share the same waterways.

Just wow! Potentially life threatening flash flooding in the Texas Hill Country. Our crew captured video of what appears to be some sort of structure slamming into the main bridge here in Kerrville. We’ve also seen several cars floating down the Guadalupe River. @NewsNation – at Kerrville, TX

🚨WOW!!!
A woman spotted a 64-year-old Navy veteran limping across an airport tarmac on hurting knees while caring for his 90-year-old mama in hospice
Then over 6,000 strangers raised $180,000 so he can finally retire, get knee surgery, and care for his 90-year-old mama.
That woman she flew back and hand-delivered the check to his door. ❤️
His name is James Blair.
He served in the United States Navy from 1980 to 1990.
He sat on a carrier with planes loaded, twenty minutes from launching against Iran during the hostage crisis, waiting on President Reagan's word.
He came home and never stopped working. LAX for 13 years and then John Wayne Airport for 20 more years.
He has been fueling planes, moving stairs, in rain or shine.
"I've been doing this job for 20 years... and I just didn't think anybody actually cared."
The work destroyed his knees, but he kept going.
His plan? "Work until I physically can't."
Because his 90-year-old mother is in hospice... and he takes care of her and pay the bills.
Then on May 21, a Utah woman named LaCinda Thackeray looked out the gate window and saw him limping on his hurt knees outside of her airplane window.
She was flying home from a funeral, carrying her own grief, but saw James limping and she filmed him and asked the internet: "Does anyone know this man?
"Watching him work so hard, he could barely move... I know there has to be a way we can help him retire."
MILLIONS watched the video and then 6,000 strangers from all over the world donated more than $180,000.
Then LaCinda flew BACK to California and knocked on his door with the check.
"I'm at a loss for words," he said.
His mama's hospice care is covered.
His knee surgery is coming.
And a veteran who thought nobody cared just found out SIX THOUSAND people do.
GOD BLESS James Blair and GOD BLESS LaCinda Thackeray.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
