Thousands of Crabs Escape and make a run for it

0:03 Caalaroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories the Dave Matthews Band. They're gonna tour and while they're touring, they're gonna plant some trees. They put out a statement. Since beginning the tour back in ninety one, Dave Matthews Band has incorporated sustainability initiatives into its live shows. They were named a United Nations Environmental Goodwill Ambassador in twenty nineteen. Over the past two years they've promoted the On the Road to Zero Waste tour. They've diverted more than ninety percent of fan generated waste away from landfills through reuse, composting, recycling, or donation. They'll continue that this year. They have also paired up with the Nature Conservancy to support global reforestation efforts. That partnership has already resulted in planting six million trees worldwide, another one million pledged in connection with the upcoming tour. Within the United States alone, more than a million and a half trees have been planted with support from the band.

1:04 Dave Matthew said in a video, nothing matters as much as the survival of the planet. Planting a million trees is a small step toward a cooler planet, toward cleaner air, toward more wild places where plants and animals can thrive. When you buy your ticket to the tour, you can contribute two dollars to plant a tree with each ticket purchased. Congratulations to a mountain gorilla family in the Congo. They are celebrating the birth of twins the Bajinny gorilla clan. They live in Vitunga National Park. They now have fifty nine members after an adult female Mkufu gave birth to twin boys. Twins among mountain gorillas are extremely uncommon. Mccufoo, now a mother of seven, was originally part of the Kabreezy gorilla family. They suffered heavily from poaching. According to the Independent, the global mountain gorilla population has risen to around one thousand individuals, up from roughly four hundred in the nineteen eighties. Wow job by the conservancy agencies out there.

2:03 A new device unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show aims to make Braille labeling easier for visually impaired people. It's the Mnemonic Dot cost you just under a thousand dollars. It's a printer that turns spoken words into peel and stick Braill labels in seconds. The printer's about the size of a small stack of coasters. It connects wiresolely to a smartphone app. Users speak directly into the phone. The app converts the speech to text and then translates that text into Braill. The printer prints out raised dots onto adhesive strips. No Braill keyboarder training is required. Congratulations to a Swedish soccer enthusiast. Daniel broke the Guinness record when he juggled the soccer ball using only his knees, chest, head and feet for twenty eight hours, twenty one minutes and two seconds. See Wow. Daniel took the record for longest marathon controlling a football mail division who is allowed a fifteen minute break every three hours. The previous record was twenty six hours, set in twenty ten. The new record again twenty eight hours and change. Daniel said, I want to inspire others to push their limits, promote consistency and focus, and show how social media can be used to spotlight positive changes and achievements.

All right, John, why re elate for work this time? Well, you see, boss, a truck overturned and there were a bunch of crabs on the road. Yeah, in northern Ireland, a truck carrying as many as fifteen thousand crabs ran into a ditch. The driver escaped with injury. After all, this is five good news stories. But then there were seventy thousand dollars worth of seafood on the road and the nearby fields.

4:08 The truck company owner called it a highly unusual scene. Many of the crabs, which were alive began heading into the fields. A team of ten people had to manually grab the crabs, beg them up and put them back on the truck. The recovery operation lasted about eighteen hours. They think they got ninety five percent of the crabs back. As for the other crabs, who knows. Good luck to you, fellas, and those are your five good news stories for today. You have an awesome day.
