New York City, NY

Someone who doesn’t care to follow “Do not block” signs is the same kind of person who argues against being towed. And rather than accept the consequences of their sloppy parking, such a person thinks stealing the tow truck and speeding away as their partially attached vehicle collides with every parked car along the block is the best way to handle the situation. Oh, how I miss New York City.

When rescue crews Girdwood Rescue 42, Utility 41, and Medic 41 responded to a sinking vehicle report on Seward Highway in Alaska, they found something unusual—a fully loaded semi-truck. The truck was slowly sinking into the icy Turnagain Arm—a waterway that feeds into the Gulf of Alaska—with the driver still inside the cab. The rescue crews threw the driver a throw bag, so they were able to pull him to shore and he was taken to the hospital. Thankfully, the driver is OK.
