A scary video going around online reminds us of how important it is to always keep kids properly strapped into their car seats.
The video shows two toddlers walking in the middle of a Texas highway after being thrown from a car in a crash on Sunday.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez confirmed that a two-car accident happened on Interstate 10 in Freeport on August 11. One car flipped several times, causing an adult and two small children to be ejected.
The video was first shared on Facebook, showing the children standing alone but only with minor scrapes.
After the crash, two men ran to help the toddlers and get them to safety.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said the investigation into the crash is still ongoing, and charges might be filed against the driver. It’s not clear if the kids were in car seats or properly restrained.
The children were taken to a hospital and are in serious but stable condition. The person in the other vehicle wasn’t hurt.
It’s a relief that the toddlers are okay, and many people are hoping they recover fully from this terrible accident.
I’m Positive You Will Not Know What This Is
Today’s youth would be completely ignorant of the meaning of a walkman, landline phone, or VHS cassette. Growing up in the era of rapid technological advancement, it has been amazing to witness how everyday household items that have been in use for years can suddenly become outdated.
I’ll admit that I had no idea what the object below was until I saw a photo of it. Beyond that, I had no idea what kind of metal tool it was. Can you identify and recollect this object?
See anything familiar? It’s a vintage oil can opener nozzle! This object appears archaic, yet it is actually rather modern, having been created in the 1980s. The spout portion of the can was used to pour oil back then, and people would use the tool to punch a hole in the top of the can. Despite having a really straightforward design, this thing is quite brilliant.
The 1980s seem like they were only yesterday to me. The 1980s seem like a lifetime ago—more than 40 years ago! Even though these openers aren’t used very often these days, I’ll wager that a lot of folks still keep one hidden in their garage among the equipment. Of course, many collect them, mechanics in particular! Therefore, it might not be a bad idea to pick up one of these cool little devices if you ever find one at an antique store or yard sale.
