Miracle Mattress
What is shown is nothing short of a miracle, and the fact it was caught on video is even
more astounding.
The ordeal was caught by a camera which sat over a couple parked cars but had a decent
view of the busy road nearby.
Everything happens quite quickly so it's important to pay attention.
A man is bicycling on the side of the road when a large black truck speeds by him.
It's unclear if the truck hit the man or simply knocked him off path.
Either way, the very second that the cyclist starts to fall to the ground, a mattress falls
from the back of the truck.
In a swift motion that seems nearly impossible, the mattress slips underneath the man and
saves him from touching the ground.
The mattress carries the man as it bounces and skids a few feet before stopping.
The rider sits atop the bed, clearly confused and shaken.
He looks around him, specifically at the new mattress lying beneath him for several minutes
before getting to his feet.
Several people walk up to make sure he's okay, and to get a closer look at what just
happened.
There are no words to describe just how impossible this is and the footage, though quick, is
amazing.

Lightning Target Lightning has the ability to strike anywhere
at any time, nothing about a previous strike will prevent a second one.
Still, it's very rare for lightning to hit the same spot more than once, especially a
small surface area like a single tree or person.
This video, likely recorded by a street cam in a park, defies the odds by capturing several
rare occurrences, though unfortunately at the defense of a pedestrian.
Firstly, this video captures lighting striking and gets a pretty clear up-close shot, considering
the type of camera used.
Secondly, lightning is shown hitting the same object twice, something that has only been
documented a handful of times through history.
Thirdly, it provides a view of a person getting hit which is even more rare than the previous.
A man running through the rain is shown moving into shot from the bottom of the view.
Just as he's in the middle of the shot lightning strikes down in a flash that's easy to miss.
He instantly falls to the ground and lays motionless for several seconds.
Eventually, and miraculously, he begins to move his feet and sits upright.
The pedestrian is clearly disoriented as he sits on the pavement and holds his head before
walking away.
He runs a few feet and lightning reigns down again, knocking him to the ground a second
time.
What's truly odd about this video is that he ran several feet before being hit again.
This happening once is improbable and this man was unlucky enough to experience it twice

Rocket
This video was posted by Shlomo Wollins, an Israeli reporter, in May 2007.
The clip is only about 9 seconds long, but that's long enough to showcase this jaw
dropping, once in a lifetime event.
Of course, this is no shooting star and is not to be seen as a magnificent sight or a
positive occurrence.
It's just the sheer fact that Shlomo was able to capture it on video, and share his
struggle with the world, that makes the footage incredible.
The footage shows a rocket hitting a home which is in the rightmost side of the shot.
It is only shown for a split second because, as he said, Shlomo was knocked to the ground
and likely unable to keep the camera recording.
Another video, which comes from a CNN live report shows something similar being caught.
While reporting in Israel, a reporter was forced to flee the area several times due
to more incoming rockets.
While this footage does not show as much of the effects as the one posted by Shlomo, it
does show what it's like having to flee, and how often they were hitting in busy cities.
In addition, it was a pretty interesting video to captured during a live airing.
12.
Bridge Collapse
This footage has been shared countless times since it was captured.
While this is considered the biggest fail in history, it's also considered a great
piece of research for the engineering that surrounds highways, bridges, and roads today.
This video shows the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge, a suspended bridge in Washington built
in 1940.
The bridge, which was the third largest of its kind, opened to traffic in July 1940 and
collapsed only a few months later in November.
High winds and a phenomenon known as aeroelastic flutter caused the bridge to begin swaying,
bouncing, and twisting like a jump rope.
This footage shows the mysterious and jaw dropping motion of the bridge.
The movement is so unnatural to us now that it almost looks fake.
The bridge contorts for several hours, which is presented as a few short clips in this
video, before it breaks apart and completely collapses into the water below.

Skydiver Meets Meteor
While the details of this video are debateable, the possibility of it's authenticity is
still fascinating.
In 2014, this skydiver from Norway claims he was nearly hit by a meteor while in the
air.
Anders Helstrup explains that his helmet camera was recording during this dive, and caught
the object nearly hit him just seconds after opening his parachute.
The footage moves fairly quickly and it's hard to identify the meteor.
After a slow motion shot and a still frame were created, though, the rock is in plain
sight and quite easy to see.
Helstrup explained that at the time he wasn't even fully aware of what happened, he explains
that the meteor quickly zoomed past him as it spiraled down.
At the same time, he was also moving quite fast and turned to his footage later for answers.
Many believe this was just a rock that had been caught in his parachute, but others are
convinced this is true footage of a meteor.
If the footage is genuine, and not just a regular old rock, this video is the first
and only of it's kind.
10.
Floor Free Fall
On May 24th, 2001 the unthinkable occurred at this wedding hall in Israel.
After a beautiful wedding ceremony, friends and family of the new couple gathered on the
dance floor to enjoy their night and celebrate love.
Men, women, children, the elderly and everything in between were gathered on the dance floor
when this event happened.
In this video, which eventually went viral, was provided by the wedding photographers
and filmographers.
Dancing, clapping and music can be heard filling the large reception hall.
The camera is pointed to a young girl being held by her father.
She is, of course, smiling as everyone crowds the dance floor clapping in joy.
As the crowd bounces in dance it becomes clear that something is wrong, the room appears
to be shaking.
At first it seems like camera error or perhaps the result of dance moves.
The cameraman moves to the side of the crowd and a split second later the floor collapses.
In a split second, the floor and it's crowd disappears into dust.
The cameraman, as well as a few people that avoided the dancefloor, are left safely on
the sidelines.
The footage shows a woman yelling, running in confusion, and peering into the sunken
floor as if searching for someone.
One man walks up toward the floor as if he missed the event and looks around for answered
before he is pulled out of shot by someone else.
Parents carrying their children run from the sight and mothers yell for help.
The floor collapsed due to the massive weight and movement being applied to it.
However, the main cause is that the wedding hall used a material that was not allowed
to be used a short time before the completion of the hall.
This material was deemed too weak and unstable for dance floors or reception halls not on
the ground level.
As a result of this error, the family involved and others affected sued the wedding hall.
It took 15 years for them to receive compensation, but were finally awarded about 120 million
shekels, roughly 33 million U.S dollars.

Avanlanche
Skiing is yet another sport with possible fates.
The only thing more unpredictable than sliding down snow at high speeds is mother nature
herself.
In this video, which was posted online and went viral shortly after, a skier faces an
unexpected obstacle while taking on a massive mountain.
Just after heading down the mountain an avalanche occurred out of nowhere.
The skier was quickly covered by the immense weight of snow.
His helmet camera caught the whole incident, from the start of his ski, to the snow engulfing
him.
After he realizes what has happened, he begins yelling for helping and trying to get air,
which can all be heard in the video.
Lucky for him, two friends witnessed the avalanche and quickly ran down to save him.
One man can be seen on the video, quickly digging the snow away and pulling the skier
out.
He gasps in an effort to breathe and seems to be sobbing.
He was very lucky to walk away from this, and was even more lucky that friends were
nearby.
Otherwise he could have been trapped under snow for hours or even days.

Skilled Trucker
It seems like every other day videos are shared online of incidents involving large trucks
on busy roads.
Fortunately, this video is the exact opposite.
While traveling on a Korean Highway in February 2017, this skilled driver saved not only their
own life but the lives of fellow drivers.
Due to a sharp curve in the road, this 18-wheeler began to skid across the pavement and tipped
to one side.
The truck drove forward on one set of wheels before swerving into the left lane.
This resulted in the truck tipping on the left side and nearly going over the highway
median.
Luckily, the driver gained control and got the truck back on track.
Clearly, this large vehicle should have tipped over entirely.
However, the driver was able to prevent that from happening and even avoided other drivers
in the process of balancing the vehicle.
It's best not to imagine what would have happened if this driver did not pull off the
impossible, and it's even more amazing that the ordeal was caught on video.
7.
Russian Meteor
In February 2013, a meteorite hit Russia.
Civilians all over the country caught footage of the fascinating occurrence.
While the hit was massive, it was considered small.
This video, shows several shots of the mass plummeting toward the Earth.
What looks like a bright shooting star at first, quickly becomes a giant rock blazing
downward.
Of course, the closer the meteor gets, the larger and brighter it appears.
In several videos, the meteor seems harmless as it burns off before making impact.
In others, though, a loud boom can be heard as the object blasts through the sky.
In addition, car alarms and breaking glass can be heard as well as the concerned yelling
of witnesses.
8 months after the meteor made it's way to Earth, it was recovered in a lake.
It weighed about 570 kilograms (or 1,200 pounds) and has been deemed the largest meteorite
recovered in history.
While the footage is provided to us in plenty on the internet, for those that witnessed
the occurrence, this was truly once in a lifetime.

Motherly Instincts
For those of us that love our pets like children, this video is pretty hard to watch.
A young woman, Tamara Seibert, was walking her two dogs when she entered an elevator
and had to save her dog's life.
Apparently, the larger black dogs leash got caught in the elevator door and as it descended
down, the dog was pulled up.
It appears as though this dog is wearing a prong collar, which tightens as it's pulled
and has slightly sharp prongs which poke into the dog's neck.
These collars are usually used on larger dogs to help the owner keep control.
In this situation, however, this was not the collar for the dog to be wearing.
As the leash was pulled up it likely caused the collar to tighten and poke into the poor
animal's neck.
Luckily, Siebert reacted quickly.
She lifted her dog to alleviate pressure and tried to remove the collar.
She released him for a moment to stop the elevator.
The dog hangs from the leash and kicks in a panic as the woman hurries back to hold
him up.
The elevator door finally opens and the dog falls to the ground.
Seibert tries to comfort him but he runs out in fear, with his tail between his legs.
The owner looks at her hand which may have been affected in the commotion.
After this Seibert stands in between the elevator doors, trying to calm herself down as she
cries and holds her chest.
She eventually slumps to the ground, sobbing more, before picking up her things and walking
away.
Thankfully, this video doesn't have sound because the cries of the pup were probably
hard to listen to.
It's also a good thing that this owner was able to react so quickly and knew how to stop
the elevator to save her best friends life.

Rain Wreck This traffic cam shows a highway near an underpass
where cars are traveling over the slick roads through what appears to be a storm.
The lanes are already flooding due to the amount of rain pouring down, which presents
an obstacle for drivers.
As the weather continues, a hole with a lid can be seen pushing water out.
This is likely a manhole which leads underground.
As many may know, when streets begin to flood the water washes into underground sewer systems
to prevent flooding.
In this case, it appears that the flooding was occurring too rapidly and the underground
storage had filled to the top.
The lid bounces up slightly several times.
Just after an 18-wheeler passes the opening, the lid flies off and tons of water gush onto
the road.
Both the amount and the pressure of water pouring onto the highway continues to increase
until it is up into the air.
The fountain reaches several feet above ground and comes crashing onto passing cars.
In the mess of water, the lid was thrown onto a passing truck, which can be seen when the
water stops spewing.
The truck is stalled in the middle of the road as water flows around and other vehicles
continue to pass.
A white car, which looks as though it could have been a cop car, pulls near the truck
and slows down but eventually speeds off with the rest of traffic.
The video cuts and next we see that the driver is out on the road, likely waiting for help
or trying to push their vehicle.
The water begins to spew again, sending the driver running to safety.
Something like this has probably only happened a few times in the history of highways, and
it's almost incredible that it was caught on video.
Of course, you've got to feel a little sorry for the driver and their ruined vehicle.

Miraculous Jump
Base Jumping is a risky yet exciting sport in which people jump from fixed structures
or bases.
Usually these locations are thousands of feet off the ground.
Parachutes or wingsuits are used near the end of the jump.
In this case, a base jumper in Russia was quite unlucky.
The jumper, who seems quite young, prepares to jump from a 120 metre (or 390 feet) power
pylon as his friend records the adventure.
The jumper is clearly nervous as he shakes in anticipation and hesitates to leap.
He eventually goes for it and jumps off the pylon.
He plummets toward the ground which becomes bigger and bigger the further he gets.
He releases his parachute in due time but unfortunately it does not properly deploy.
He continues to fall and eventually hits the ground with a massive force which sends snow
flying around him.
Lucky for him, that snow is exactly what saved him.
Though malfunctioning parachutes do occur often, the probability of capturing a video
like this is pretty low.
Not only do we get to see how the parachute failed, we get to see the result of a failed
base jump as well.

Double the Winnings
This video comes from a news report from 1999.
Australian citizen Bill Morgan was being interviewed by a local news station about his recent lottery
winnings, when he miraculously won the lottery again on live tv.
Bill was living paycheck to paycheck in a small trailer and described his life as "miserable".
After an allergic reaction, his heart suddenly stopped and he was rushed to the hospital.
Doctors were unable to save him for 14 minutes.
Eventually his heart started beating again but doctors feared he would be in what was
essentially a coma for the rest of his life, and urged his family that the right thing
to do was take him off life support.
12 days later he suddenly woke up, despite the doctors predictions.
After leaving the hospital he quit his miserable job and proposed to his girlfriend.
He was determined that he would make the best out of this second chance at life.
His girlfriend said yes.
There's a saying that encourages someone to buy a lottery ticket to cash in on their
streak of luck after good things happen to them.
Certainly waking up from a coma and someone accepting your proposal is good luck.
Bill's luck got even better when he bought a lottery scratch off though.
He won a brand new car with a cheap scratch off.
Local news contacted Bill to interview him about his unstoppable streak of recent luck.
During the scene he was asked to purchase another scratch off, to reenact the moment
he realized he had won a car.
Bill bought the ticket, from the same station as before, and bent down to scratch it off.
In the midst of his scratching, he paused as if he was baffled.
Immediately he looks up and says "I just won again I am not joking".
This time instead of a car, Bill cashed in on 250,000 dollars.
He began to sob and laugh at the same time in this moment.
Store employees came over to check the ticket, confirmed he won, and congratulated him.
Store employees were surprised at the win and explained they literally could not believe
his luck.
Bill called his fiancee to inform her that he'd be buying a new house.
The odds of winning the top prize on a scratch off are about 1 in 600,000.
The odds of winning twice are even lower.

Shark Encounter
Thanks to modern technology and Shark Week, seeing footage of a shark is nothing miraculous.
In fact, for adventurous divers, coming face to face with a shark isn't that rare either.
This video, however, provides incredible footage of an unexpected encounter with a great white.
Terry Tufferson is a YouTuber with few uploads, but about 24,000 subscribers.
The sparse videos he has shared were filmed via Go Pro.
This particular video, posted in June 2014, shows Terry using his Go Pro while jumping
off a cliff.
The tall cliff was over a body of sparkling water, and he likely only recorded the event
to demonstrate the use of the Go Pro, or share his thrilling dive.
Shortly after Terry hits the water, though, he captures something he was completely unprepared
for.
As he begins swimming underwater in an attempt to reach shore, a large white mass can be
see slowly appearing as it approaches the camera.
Within seconds it becomes clear that this figure is a great white shark.
Gargled yelling can be heard by Terry has he becomes motionless.
In a struggle to swim to land, or at least a tall rock, Terry comes face to face with
the shark many times.
At one point, he even swats his hand and yells as if to "shoo" the shark away.
During this whole ordeal the great white seems fairly unfazed by Terry's presence and even
his motions.
Luckily, Terry makes it to shore safely.
Perhaps the most fascinating thing about this footage is just how unexpected it was.
Terry was clearly not a skilled diver exploring underwater wildlife, he was just swimming
and seeking a thrill.
His pure reaction combined with the rare footage makes this video, which has over 36 millions
views, unique to say the least.

Action Flick
Dash cams have provided us with countless amazing, hilarious, thrilling and mysterious
videos through the years.
In this case, though, someone's dash cam caught something you're not likely ever
going to see in your life.
In fact, it looks as though this is a scene cut straight out of an action blockbuster
starring Tom Cruise.
While going down a two lane highway the black car to the right begins to merge quickly into
the left lane.
In a matter of seconds, a motorcyclist also speeds from the right lane into the left.
Both vehicles are going fairly fast and it's likely that the cyclist didn't even see
the car was getting over.
The cyclist hits the back of the car and his bike is immediately blown into a mess of debris
and dust.
Somehow, at the very moment he hit this car, he flew into the air and landed on the top
of the car.
Now in any other case he would've been thrown into the middle of the road.
Not only did he get thrown perfectly on top of the car, he even managed to land on his
feet and gain enough balance to not fall off as the car came to a stop.
Though the car that carries the dash cam stops, you can still see the cyclist riding atop
the second car for a few feet, just crouching in place while staying balanced.
This incident is the epitome of a miracle or at least an amazing defeat of the odds.
This bike rider was likely counting his blessings for the next 10 years.
