0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Well good news for a boat that needed to be rescued. They were in the English channel and they called in an emergency called a Dover the rom is. The call went to Dover, Delaware, not Dover, England. The police dispatchers and Delaware are being lauded for helping direct rescuers to a boat foundering in the English channel. Dover, Delaware received a call from an Albanian man who thought he was calling Dover, England. His boat was sinking again. You know how the show works. I'm not going to tell you at the end like this went sideways in the man drowned. That's not how the show works. The man on the boat did an internet search for Dover Police department called the first one on the screen. Delaware realized trying to tell the guy, no, no, no, it's not us. Call England. Communications operator Mackenzie Atkinson kept the man on the line and took some critical information. The man gave the coordinates of the vessel. Meanwhile, Communications Officer Connor Logan began making international notifications. Within four minutes, he established contact with several agencies, including the US Coast Guard, the French Coast Guard, His Majesty's Coast Guard in England, and the United Kingdom's Maritime and Coast Guard Agencies Coordination Center, as well as police stations in Dover, England. Fifteen minutes and forty eight seconds after the initial call, rescuers were on the way to the vessel. Everybody on board was safely returned to Dover, England. Oh, let's stay on the seas for a minute. A group of divers from Poland
1:35 and stumbled upon a nineteenth century shipwreck loaded to the brim with crates of Champagne. Tomas as the group leader and said in his forty years of diving, it often found rex with a bottle of two, but crates of Champagne was a first. Sweden's regional authorities has been notified so they can begin planning the excavation. Having a lot of fun with the Ignoble prize this week, keep this one in your back pocket. This could come in and fifty researchers flipped three hundred and fifty seven hundred and fifty seven coins to test a hypothesis. The hypothesis by a former magician and professor of statistics suggested tossed coins are slightly more likely to land the same way up as they started. The work supports the predictions, so you know, next time you call heads, you might want to make sure you have the heads face up. Here's another Guinness World Record. A professional stunt driver went bungee diving inside a car. Laurent is a professional stuntman and race car driver.
2:33 His car was attached to eight bungee cords dropped from a crane at a height of two hundred and thirteen feet and three inches, meeting the exact goal set by Guinness World Records to originate the title of highest car bungee jump. This was organized by the marketing director of Nissan, who said the stunt seemed like a logical next step after various TV commercials featured the particular model of Nissan engaging in extreme sports like skateboarding and paintball. News we figured out who cut off the electricity. It was a bull with an itchy butt. Yeah. It was between ten and eleven pm on Thursday when Ron the bull decided to scratch himself up against a pole. The transformer fell It missed Ron, who would have been shocked by eleven thousand volts. That would have been bad. Unfortunately, three nearby villages were left without electricity. A local said, we got up around six am. We saw a big generator sitting at the botto of our road, all linked up to the poles. We thought that was a bit strange. We went to feed our cows and my husband noticed the transformer box had been knocked off the pole. We'd put two and two together and realized the bull had been scratching against the pole and it knocked the box off the pole while the wires were down in the field as well. The bull looked a little bit stunned, but I don't think he really knew what had happened. During the night, the woman explained, the bulls are always itchy when they go out. Ron weighs over at sun, so he's been rubbing and pushing against this pole and knocked it off. We've seen them shake the wires when they do it, but for the box to come off, well that's new. Ron spent the rest of the day relaxing in the field. And those are your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy this program, tell a
