Anyone who has been to the ocean knows how unpredictable it can be. One of the most dangerous things about the ocean is the tide. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, the tide can turn deadly.
The tide can rise quickly, swallowing people and animals in seconds. In some cases, it can lead to a slow and painful death. This is what nearly happened to an 18-year-old horse named Astro.
Astro’s owner, Nicole Graham, and her daughter were enjoying a ride on the beach near Geelong, south of Melbourne, Australia. But soon, the horses wandered into soft sand, which quickly turned into a muddy trap.
Nicole’s daughter and her horse managed to escape, but Nicole and Astro were not so lucky. They sank deeper into the mud, and Astro was soon stuck up to his neck in thick clay, in danger of choking. For the next three hours, Nicole stayed by Astro’s side, fighting to keep him alive.
As the minutes passed, the situation became more desperate. Nicole had to calm her 1,000-pound (450 kg) horse to prevent him from sinking even deeper into the mud. As the tide started to come in, Astro was getting closer to suffocating. He was also at risk of dying from dehydration and exhaustion.
Thankfully, Nicole’s daughter was able to get to safety and call for help. A rescue team and a veterinarian arrived on the scene. The vet gave Astro a sedative to keep him calm, while Nicole stayed by his side, talking to him to reassure him. The team even called a helicopter, but they couldn’t lift Astro because he was too deeply stuck in the mud for a rope to be tied around him.
The rescue team tried hard to free Astro, but the mud was like quicksand, making it almost impossible to dig him out. As the tide got closer, Nicole feared they wouldn’t be able to save her beloved horse.
Then, a farmer arrived with his tractor. In a last attempt to free Astro, they attached a rope to the tractor and pulled. That’s when the miracle happened. Together, Nicole, the rescue workers, and the farmer managed to pull Astro out of the mud.
You can watch the incredible rescue here:
Nicole, who owns 10 horses, often rides along the beach, but this was the first time one of her horses had gotten stuck.
Luckily, this story had a happy ending. But it shows the importance of being careful around the ocean, even in familiar places.
Most of all, this story is a beautiful example of the powerful bond between humans and animals. It shows that love and determination can make miracles happen!
Keanu Reeves reveals serious injury he suffered recently while filming latest movie….
Among the most adored stars of his generation is Keanu Reeves. Maybe nobody who has ever met him would say anything negative about him. Thus, many were worried when the well-liked actor disclosed something bad that had happened to him.
To learn more, continue reading.
The 59-year-old actor talked about how he suffered a broken kneecap during production.Renowned for his action-packed career that includes hits like The Matrix and the John Wick series, Reeves disclosed how something relatively harmless killed him.
Colbert inquired of Reeves, “What took place? How did they get to you?
In a lighthearted yet tough man voice, the actor retorted, “No one got to me,” then added, “Accident got to me.”
“Did you jump from one building to another? Were you rolling over sharp objects like razor blades? How did you spend the time? Stephen enquired more.
“No, Stephen, I was entering a room that served as the dressing room. I’ll tell you right away,” Keanu said.
Keanu revealed that it occurred during the filming of a segment with Aziz Ansari and Seth Rogen for the upcoming comedy Good Fortune. Keanu was having fun in the frigid plunge that the three of them were in. He began performing the “cold shuffle” in a room with protected carpeting after they were done. Sadly, while he was doing so, his foot got caught in a pocket.
Keanu got up to stroll in front of Stephen’s desk and illustrate what had happened by demonstrating the weakness in his knee. “I also spiked.” Like, spiked,” he murmured, imitating his own experience. “Just rammed it into the earth.”
“My kneecap, or patella, broke like a chipped potato. But I was unaware of that. However, once my knee burst, Keanu continued.
Keanu joked, “Comedy is hard, man.”
Stephen reiterated, “Aziz and Rogen were not in an action movie.”
No, Keanu said, “It was comedy.”
“Greetings from my life,” Stephen said.
In January of this year, Keanu was seen filming with an ice pack applied to his knee while using crutches.
In addition to starring, Good Fortune marks Aziz Ansari’s directing debut. Alongside Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer, the actor co-wrote and co-produced the film.
