RARE EGGS SAVED BY FLIGHT ATTENDANT

Alaska Airlines flight attendant saves rare flamingo eggs during flight; Zoo honors her with ...

SEATTLE  (KOMO)  —  An Alaska Airlines flight attendant was
recently honored by Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo after saving
rare Chilean flamingo eggs on a flight last August.

A zoo official transporting rare was Chilean flamingo eggs from
Zoo Atlanta to Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo when the incubator
keeping them warm stopped working.

Flight attendant Amber said “A passenger rang the call button
and asked if I would help keep some eggs warm.”

Alaska said Amber went to the galley, found some rubber gloves,
and filled them with warm water before bringing them to the zoo
official. The zoo officials then wrapped the gloves around the
eggs to make a makeshift, yet cozy nest.

Nearby plane passengers offered their coats and scarves for
extra insulation.

tour that included a ‘meet and greet’ with the recently-
hatched chicks.

Massachusetts police K9 on unsuccessful chase for more than 2 miles to find lost 12-year-old in ...

The Auburn Police Department said a Massachusetts police K9
followed her nose to help find a 12-year-old who went missing
in
frigid temperatures last week, tracking the child’s scent for
over two miles.


K9 Biza, a female German shepherd (above) was called on to
help after officers learned the child left their home at around
10:30 p.m. Wednesday and was last seen in the Pakachoag
Hill area of Auburn.

The child had left the home without a cellphone or their mother’s permission, the Worcester Telegram and Gazette reported.

Due to the freezing temperatures, police said that officers,
detectives and Massachusetts State Police troopers
converged on the area to locate the wandering child.

Biza tracked the scent for over two miles and led officers to an
area where they found evidence that the

passed by a short time earlier. Additional officers converged
on the area and found the child a short time later.
The child
was safe and reunited with family.

Biza joined the police department in 2022. She has her own 
Instagram account and was selected as "Miss December”
in the Massachusetts Vest-A-Dog 2024 calendar.

Henry Louis Aaron (February 5, 1934 – January 22, 2021) 

Aaron played 23 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB), from
1954 through 1976. Considered one of the greatest baseball
players in history, he spent 21 seasons with the
Milwaukee /
Atlanta Braves
in the National League (NL) and two seasons
with the
Milwaukee Brewers in the American League (AL).

At the time of his retirement, Aaron held most of the game’s key
career
power-hitting records. He broke the long-standing MLB
record
for career home runs held by Babe Ruth and remained
the career leader for 33 years, until Barry Bonds surpassed his
famous total of 755 in 2007. He hit 24 or more home runs every
year from 1955 through 1973 and is one of only two players to
hit 30 or more home runs in a season at least fifteen times.
