A Cape Coral man narrowly escaped a car-related disaster that could have turned into a tragic tale. His name is Francisco, and he was playing mechanic under his car's hood when things took a terrifying turn.
While attempting to swap out his car's transmission cable, fate decided to test his steel. Suddenly, the car jack gave way, and the entire vehicle became best friends with the ground, crushing Francisco beneath it.
But fear not, according to WFLA, Cape Coral's very own dynamic duo, Officers Bridges and Klakowicz, were just a phone call away. They didn't need fancy capes or gadgets. Their superpower was sheer strength. Just like a team of Marvel heroes, they raced to the scene and, with Herculean effort, lifted the car as if it were a feather duster. Francisco's son-in-law, Carlos, played sidekick, dragging the lucky survivor to safety.
Now, here's where it gets even more marvelous. The Cape Coral Police Department couldn't help but compare these officers' life-saving antics to the Hulk's feats of strength. It's not every day you hear about police officers moonlighting as members of the Avengers! Officer Mercedes Phillips called it a real-life Hulk lifting the car, and it's pretty darn cool.
As for Francisco, he's currently resting up with an impressive list of battle scars. Seven cracked ribs and a few other broken bones. But guess what? The doctors are calling it a miracle that he's still kicking! His family, keeping their fingers crossed, is hoping to bring him back home before the week is over.
So, here's to Francisco, the luckiest guy under a car, and to Officers Bridges and Klakowicz, our unsung car-crushing superheroes. It's a story that reminds us that sometimes, real-life heroes wear badges and lift cars instead of wearing capes and flying through the sky.
VIDEO: Woman Turns Into The Incredible Hulk After Losing Kids In Florida Airport
I imagine a mom would be incredibly scared if she lost her kids in an airport and a woman turned into the Incredible Hulk after that happened in Miami.
Over the last year, we've heard about a lot of incidents in airports and on flights. I don't know if it's happening more often or if there's just more video of these events taking place.
As a kid, my mom would put one of those leash things on me when we'd go out. I guess I had a habit of seeing something interesting and stopping to take a look or darting in the other direction to check it out. I guess even 30+ years later that hasn't changed. Thankfully though I'm sans leash now when I'm out with my mom in public.
But kids will be kids and one Alabama mom, Camila McMillie, lost her children, ages six and eight, at the Miami airport. Now, she didn't exactly lose them, but Local10 reports that they did go to the bathroom without telling her. She asked American Airlines employees for help locating them and that's she freaked.
And by freaked, I mean raised hell and started destroying anything and everything in sight. I mean, this woman straight up turned into the Incredible Hulk after losing her kids in this airport.
If you think I'm overexaggerating, here's the proof:

But wait, there's more
Look at the second video...that escalated quickly
Now, I understand being upset about losing your kids, but the RAGE was a little extreme. Don't you think if you lost your kids you'd be frantically looking for them instead of throwing, smashing, etc.?
How much damage was there?
According to police, one airline employee suffered a bruise to her right shoulder. The airline estimated the property damage at about $10,000.
American Airlines released a statement regarding the incident: “Acts of violence against our team members are not tolerated by American Airlines and we are committed to working closely with law enforcement in their investigation. Our thoughts are with our team member, and we are ensuring they have the support they need at this time.”
What happened to Camila McMillie?
After being detained by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer, McMillie was arrested and taken to jail. She is facing charges of aggravated battery, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct.
